Electronics Store Puns

Mine says it's from Best By.

And he sold a ring.

His doctor told him he should "take one tablet a day."

Best Buy ever!

While I was at the electronics store today, this happened:

Shop assistant drops a bunch of price signs, and exclaims "The prices are falling!"

I imagine the man must be a glorious husband and father.

If you buy two packs, they'll throw in a pack of dead ones, free of charge.

Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.

Today I share with you "NEXIS IS RIDICULOUS.txt":

I was working in electronics at a local big box store, when this guy comes in and asks where the new Adele CD is. So, I start looking.

Me: Now if I were adele, where would I be...?

Him: Probably in a deli.

I overhead this today while in line at an electronics store.

Young male cashier: That'll be $14.50

Dad: I'm sorry, I forgot my checkbook. Do you accept Federal Reserve Notes?

Cashier: (-_-)

Was out doing some errands with a friend today, he needed to stop into an electronics shop to get some supplies for the lightsaber he's making. Conversation went like this:
Friend: Where can I find thumb screws?
Sales guy: Have you tried the Love Shop (adult store) downtown?

A little less appropriate as far as dad jokes go, but it definitely had us laughing after we got over the initial '... did he actually just say that?'
