I had the sweetest older man help me out at the bookstore today...but I had a hard time not laughing as we talked.
Employee: Sure!
Me: It's called Alas, Babylon, and it's by Pat Frank.
Employee: At Last, I Belong?
Me: No, Alas Babylon...
Employee: Alas, I Belong?
Me: Alas. Babylon. BABYLON.
Employee: I don't know if we have it...
Thankfully, they did. It was in the Science Fiction section. Isn't that supposed to be reserved for books about aliens and spaceships?
