"the birth of jesus" by danielle steel
"do you work here?"
"yes, i do. is there something i can help you find?"
"i sure do hope so. i'm looking for a book about the first christmas."
"could we break that down just a bit? do you have a specific book in mind?"
"don't you just have something in this place that talks about the first christmas?"
"sir, you'll notice we have a lot of books (and as much as i love you, wacky customer dude, books don't talk). doing a search with something as broad as 'the first christmas' brings up more than 125 titles in our database. every book that even casually mentions christmas is listed. i'd love to help you, but an actual title or author is really going to help us along."
"i just want something that tells about the birth of jesus and that star thing. something that talks about those three wise men. you know, just something about the first christmas. why we celebrate it. i don't know what book i'd be looking for."
"um...that would be the bible, sir."
"oh no, i know that's not what i'm looking for."

It would be interesting to see what Danielle might come up with (somehow I don't think she would be able to keep it a virgin birth)
that was perfect LOL...
I love it. . .
The whole entry I was thinking to myself, wait for it, wait for it, and then the punchline happened. Just as I'd hoped.
Real-life people are so entertaining.
Maybe I should move up there... people seem more entertaining north east of me.... ish
What he really needed was this.
LOL...people, priceless!
I want the story of Jesus but not all that religious stuff..... you know the one where Santa and the three stooges ride Rudolph bring Gold, Frankenstein and Muir.
Wow that is priceless...retail a world all its own.
Satan: priceless comment!
D.K.G.: Satan has a point--there must be more than one book that discusses Jesus as an historical figure without all the folderol of the King James Edition. I recall reading a review of one some years ago, but I don't recall the name or the author.
omg, that is why i DON'T miss retail. people. although, they are good for a laugh on occasion.
:)
Hilarious!
that's funny. bible!?!?! what could i learn about jesus in the bible??? :)
