Funny Pics II: The Revenge

In the early 2000s, I worked at a bookstore. A woman asked me for the Idiot by Homer Simpson. While this sounds like a humorous book that the creators of the Simpsons might have produced, no such thing exists, or existed at the time. The customer refused to believe us, going so fat as to show her the inventory system. After a bit of de-escalation, we pivoted and asked why she wanted this book so badly. They needed it for their child, who had to read it for English Lit class. At that point, the manager asked, do you mean the Iliad by Homer?

 

That was the book. 

 

End. 

 

As a high school teacher we did a show called "The Idiot and The Oddity." It was a parody of the Iliad and the Odyssey, so I could see where this was going very easily. Apparently, it's not an uncommon mistake.
