I'm always surprised when I go into Micro Center, sans Paul, and ask for 
either a "male to male RCA," or a "male to female mini," or something like 
that, and I get a funny look from the clerks.  I figure it's either they're 
surprised that a chick knows how to ask for cords, or maybe _they_ don't know 
what I'm asking for.

In Radio Shack, they never look surprised.  It's only Micro Center.
