A pal of mine's wife was getting him a boardgame for his birthday from a geeky games shop. The shop staff fitted the image perfectly - straggly beards, heavy metal t-shirts etc - then backed into a corner and didn't know what to do. " OMG a girl in our shop, this has never happened before". Anyhow she's pretty confident in any company or environment, so it wasn't by any means the hi-fi shop sketch. She broke the ice by saying she wants a game for her husband & teenage boys - something with a high score on boardgamegeek.com. They replied "you've to be a bit carefull with boardgamegeek as there are some real geeks on there" - then got into an in depth discussion leading to a sale.
