On having a bad day at PC World

On having a bad day at PC World

"Will we be getting a Thesaurus with this thing?"

"A what?"

"A Thesaurus."

"Does it bite? Oh-ho!"

"No, really. Will our word processor package be supplied with or without a Thesaurus?"

"Uh... Without."

"Bloody Hell's teeth. What are you trying to sell me? If I got this thing home and found it didn't have a Thesaurus, there'd be a riot. And a violent assembly. Not to mention an angry demonstration. An uprising. An insurrection. And a heated disturbance."

"Are you sure, sir? It wasn't in your original order / instruction / bid / request."

"Mark my words – somebody could end up killed TO DEATH / slaughtered / slain / assassinated / stoved over the head with a pickaxe handle and dumped in a tin bath of quicklime behind the industrial estate over this"

"Are you sure you really need that Thesaurus, sir?"

"Come to mention it – no."

"Deal. Five hundred quid."

"You're having a laugh / chuckle / snigger / hoot."

"Please leave."

Deplorable customer service! I think there's another word for it though...

Thea Saurus? She lived at number 27 and nasty piece of work she was too. There was always something odd about her, and that brother of hers, Bronto.

And you wonder why they call it Pissy World?

Last time I was there I got chatted up by the checkout person.

She was a lady.

Thesaurus Coming?

After consuming the Habanero and wheat germ pie, he developed a case of thesaurus.

Justin - Congratulations on your being "the First"!!

Just goes to prove you have to get up early in the morning! (In the UK that is, anywhere else you're cheating!).

Thesaurus? - Oh, so that's how you spell it. Now could someone explain what it really means?

I always thought with the likes of PC World, thesaurus comin'!!

(Oh, I see the joke now!).
