"He's seven and wants a fighting game?"free guilty gear ost

I'm in the store checking out NBA Street Vol.3 and the Mario All-Stars. This woman, we'll call her MILF, walks in and has the following exchange with the clerk (Dumb_ss Dave, or DD for short): free guilty gear ost

MILF: "I'd like to buy a Valentine's Day present for my son. He has a Playstation 2."
DD: "Ummm... ok.... do you know what type of game he wants, or what types of games he already has?"
MILF: "Oh... yeah. He said he wants a 'fighting game.' I don't really know what that means though. All he has right now is sports games like football and basketball."
DD: "Ok... a fighting game... let's see what we have..."
MILF: "Well... my problem is that my son is only 7. I really don't want to get him something with lots of blood and weapons"
DD: (look of bewilderment) "7??? He's 7 and he wants a fighting game?"
MILF: (sheepishly) "Yeah... I know. Do you have a game that has cartoon type violence? He likes Batman... is there a Batman fighting game?"
DD: "No.... there's no batman fighting game... let's see... (scans the shelf) well, i'll tell you what my favorite fighting game is... (picks up a box) It's called "Dead or Alive" ... now, a lot of people like Tekken or Virtua Fighter, but I think DoA is the best fighting game out there."
MILF: (looking at the box, slightly freaked out) "Uh... this isn't exactly what i had in mind" free guilty gear ost

I couldn't believe it. Here's this guy who at one instance acts as if he is shocked & appalled that the lady would buy a fighting game for her 7 year old son, and then the next instant he's recommending a game that is probably one of the least age appropriate.free guilty gear ost

I almost jumped in and told the lady to buy her kid a gamecube with SSBM or at least Marvel vs. Capcom for the PS2.... I can't understand what was going through that guy's head. I think they finally settled on a WWE game.free guilty gear ost

What's even funnier - she got him a WWE game which, depending on the time of this exchange, has just as much booty as DoA.free guilty gear ost
