Blank
Me: S— Public Library, this is Sean.
Patron: Do you have federal tax form blanks?
Me: I’m sorry, do we have federal tax form what?
Patron: Do you have blank federal tax forms?
Me: I don’t know what you mean by “blank” forms, but we have forms that haven’t been filled out.
Patron: “Sold out”?
Me: Filled out.
Patron: (pauses, then laughs; speaks slowly) Do you have forms there for me to pick up?
Me: (internal sigh) Yes, we do.
Patron: And are they federal and state, or just federal?
Me: We have both.
Patron: Thank you. Good-bye. *click*
