Me: "Hi, how are you?"
Mr. Conehead: "Bark? Where we at with that treat?"

Mr. Conehead: "A bag? A doggy bag? Woof woof woof!"
Me: "No, thanks."
Girl: Cold, unfriendly stare.
Me: "Come back when you're selling chocolate."
Mr. Conehead: "Come back when you're packing a doggy treat."
Girl: "Okay."
Me: "Bye."
Close door. Eye Mr. Conehead.
Me: "No treat for you, mister."
Mr. Conehead: "Woof-ever."
