I was just at Best Buy where I bought some Crucial memory, the 256megs of DDR that they have on sale. Anyway, I go to the counter and say, "I want a pack of that 256meg DDR on sale"
The guy reaches for it and hands it to me, just as I ask, "this is Crucial, right?" He looks at me and says, "yes". And I say, in an excited tone, "really? that is a really good price, as long as it is Crucial"...
He looks really confused and says to me "well, it isn't CRUCIAL!!!"
By this time I am looking at the pack of memory, and can see it is indeed genuine Crucial, so I say, "yes it is, look at the sticker."
He just goes, "well, yes the brand is Crucial, I thought you meant CRUCIAL!!!"
What did he think, like I wanted some kind of Emergency/Super Important, aka CRUCIAL memory?!?
I just couldn't hold in my smirk.
