All in a Day's Work - The unbelievable

So, I hear really great excuses all day long. This or that doesn't work, it's defective, this item just spontaneously self-destructed.....you name it, I've probably heard it. Not that all of them are bogus, but you just kind of get a sense of when someone's not being straight up with you.

I had one of the most unusual returns I've had yet today. A lady brought back one of those baby dolls that makes sounds and "talks." Personally, I think a doll that calls you "Mama" is creepy anyway, but that's a whole different issue. Well, this doll is supposed to coo, and say mama, and laugh and, just be cute. So, the customer plops the doll down on the counter and tells me she wants to return it because it says, "Islam is the light." She goes off to find another one to exchange it for, and I have this obnoxious cooing baby going off on the counter behind me. Which every so often does indeed say exactly what the customer claims it says. Lovely! I checked it out, apparently this is not the only one.......there has a big uproar since they were discovered several months ago. I just hadn't been aware of the problem until I actually encountered one. There are a lot of skeptics who claim it is just making 'baby noises.' WHATEVER.....I heard it myself, it's pretty darn clear exactly what it is saying. So, now we're handing our children toys with subliminal messages programmed into them. What other things are me missing, because we think we misheard something?

Maybe, I'm wrong, but you can check it out for yourself and decide.
