In the Native Tongue

Two conversations I had while in West Virginia:

Me: "Excuse me, do you have the time?"
Kwiky Stop clerk: "Fer whut?"

while using Mom's I.D. to pay for stamps with a check:
Postal clerk: "This doesn't look like you."
Me: "Ever see that show "Nip/Tuck"? "
Postal clerk: "Oh.... okay."

My standard answer to "Do you have the time?" is "I have all the time in the world."

I also have a smart-ass answer to the stupid but popular "Have a good one" and some people actually appreciate it. "I do. She's waiting at home for me."
