Peter : California's Master Haberdasher.

On the way to Genny's place, yesterday after work, she asked me "what do you call a person that makes hats in english?" And for some reason the word "haberdashery" popped into my head, i don't really know why because at the time i had no idea what "haberdashery" meant, but it sounded right for some reason. We called a few people looking for the answer, but no one really knew what the other word for hat maker was. I got fed up and looked it up on the internet. A haberdashery is a place where men's clothing is sold. That still didn't really help. At 7h30pm on a wednesday, everything's closed here in Montreal. So i looked up hat manufacturers in Vancouver, cuz i figure Vancouver's still open. I came across Baron California Hats, and thought, well California's open. This was my conversation.

Customer Service: Baron California Hats how may i help you?

Annie: Baron hat's?

CS: yes?

A: I have a question about hats.

CS: you have a question about hats?

A: yes i do.

CS: ok... hold on a second.

(puts me on hold and seems to pick up again in a more quiet environment, as to give me his full attention no doubt)

CS: So you have a hat question?

A: Well, yeah, my friend and I were wondering if there's another term for "hat maker"?

CS: Yep, that's called a Haberdasher.

A: Hell yes i knew i was right! Dude i'm calling from Montreal to find this out! Everything's closed here in Montreal!

Cs: um...

A: That's in Canada.

Cs: wow... what time is it in Canada?

A: well... it's 7h30 in Montreal... what time is it in California?

Cs: it's about... 4h30.

A: Almost quitting time huh?

Cs: you got it.

A: What's your name?

Cs: Peter.

A: Well Peter, thank you very much for answering my question, you were very helpful.

P: No problem, by the way, a woman hat maker is called a Milliner.

A: Sweet! Thanks! You have yourself a great evening in California!

P: No problem, you too!



I bet you that guy's never gotten a call like that before.
