apocalypsosSpotted on Not Always Right, from someone working at a movie theater:
Customer: “You only have two showings of American Carol! That’s just plain un-American! You’re all d**ned communists.”
Me: “I’m sorry sir, but it wasn’t selling well so we had to split it with another movie.”
Customer: “No - it’s because you’re g**d**n commies.”
Me: “No, sir, that’s actually capitalism. We move the movies that don’t sell well to less show times so as to maximize profits.
Customer: “No, capitalism is American and no real American would move a movie down just because it wasn’t making money!”
