another classy moment in Odegaard
Girl at desk: "I need one of those octopus... things."
I, assuming it was the popular Biological Sciences books with an octopus cover, waved her on to assure that I had it covered. Upon returning to the counter, however, she stutters:
"Uh, no, I meant one of those things [motions strangely]. Those things you can plug into. I don't know what they're really called."
Me: "Oh, like a power strip."
Girl (retreating with power cord): "Yeah, it's because I was raised.... by my parents."
Another girl came up to the counter looking for an "octopus." What is this peculiar phenomenon?
