(At the theater where I work, the new Star Wars movie has just premiered a few days prior.)
Me: “Good evening, sir. Can I see your ticket please?”
Customer: “The force is strong with this one.”
Me: “Okay, I take it you’re seeing our new Star Wars movie? It’s a really good movie, sir.”
Customer: “I challenge you to a light-saber battle!”
(Suddenly, the customer whips out two light-sabers from under his cloak.)
Me: “Sir, I’m actually working right now, but your movie will start in fifteen minutes. If you’d like, you can head into the theater.”
Customer: “Challenge you I have. Defeat you I will!”
Me: “No, not today sir. Work I must.” *light laughter*
Customer: “But…but I have challenged you! I sense the force within you is strong!”
Me: “Really?”
Customer: *nods*
Me: *looks around* “Alright, just give me one.”
(He then proceeds to give me the green lightsaber and stands back in a fighting pose. I very weakly go to cross swords with him when my manager comes up behind me.)
Manager: “So we play games while we’re on the clock now, do we?”
(I turn to address my manager when literally, in the swiftest motion I’ve ever seen, the patron stabs me in the stomach with the lightsaber, takes the one from my hand and runs out the back side door to the movie theater.)
Manager: “Well?”
(Literally defeated, I head back to work.)
