Sometimes, life just makes you laugh

Thought I'd share this with everyone. We were both amused...

So the guy I'm seeing goes into a convenience store to buy a lottery ticket, one of those scratch-off deals for a dollar or some such. There's one guy behind the counter cleaning something and a female cashier (my friend is over forty).

He's standing in line, sees one that he wants, and waits for his turn. Now, all the tickets have names- "Bonus Bingo", "Word Cross", and such. But they're also numbered for the ease of the employees, because the tickets change position and name all the time- number one, number two, and so forth. There are, after all, about twenty different kinds of scratch-off tickets up there. So, he gets to the counter, and asks the female cashier for the ticket by its name:

"What's Your Number, please?"

Both employees stare in silence for about five seconds before the light bulb goes on for him.

Lottery ticket: $1
Milk: $2.99
Real-life Mad TV sketch: Priceless

1. LOL, that took me a good 15 seconds to get

Doh! Good one. I can think of some other names that they'd probably better never use...

2. That's why I thought of Mad TV.

There are lots of potential laugh lines in that situation...
