Worse than me

I used to work with this guy named Robert at the record store, and talk about a stickler for semantics.

Customer 'hey you wouldn't happen to have the new Robert Palmer, you know the one with Simply irresistible on it?

Robert "no we don't HAPPEN to have it, we have it as a result of thorough market analysis, proper planning and inventory management. So no, we don't HAPPEN to have it, we have BY DESIGN'

Customer (half frightened) 'Great, do you have it on cassette?

Robert "sorry sold out"
