Make Us Laugh :)

A customer came into the garden center I work at, asking for Hornbeams. Instead of using the common name to make his request, he used the genus from the latin binomial name. The associate who fielded the question (not me), comes over the radio and says, "Do we have CAR-PENIS in stock?"

The rest of the staff dissolved into guffaws. Sometime later the associate's question was answered.
