Overheard in New York

I picked out one of my faves, but the whole site is a blast!

Hat tip to Ma-at for the link.

"Woman: Do you have a non-fiction section?

Book Guy: Well, everything that's not fiction is non-fiction. [Over] there's cooking, and there's history.

Woman: No, that's not what I asked. Do you have a section for non-fiction?

Book Guy: Well, there are no non-fiction novels. Everything here that's not a novel is non-fiction.
Woman: But you don't have a non-fiction section?

Book Guy: No. Everything that isn't fiction is non-fiction"
