Ted, the jilted lover

As the proprietor waited, he made a pot of tea on the small hot plate behind the counter. Suddenly, the bell above his front door rang and a man came in.

The man was in his early to mid twenties, was dressed in a pair of khaki pants and a polo shirt. He was average looking, tall and thin. He held a cell phone to his ear and was talking loudly. "Can you hear me now? Freakin' traffic is too loud. There's some sort of traffic jam....Yeah...anyway, not only did I find out the bitch cheated on my AT LEAST three times, but she kept the engagement ring! Yeah....no doubt...well, it could have been worse, I could have not found out until AFTER we were married....what?....Yeah, apparently she wanted to marry me for dad's money! Really, her parents are divorced, and her mom just lives off her dad's alimony and wouldn't spend any money on the wedding, so I did. I already lost a non-refundable deposit on the reception hall AND the caterer. Yep....Yeah, you're right...Oh Okay...I'll see you this weekend. Later."

The man put his cell phone away and looked around. He turned and saw the proprietor right besides him.

"Oh, I'm sorry," said the man, "I just came in to get away from the street noise."

"Quite all right, young man. You are my first customer ever. Let me show you around."

The man looked around. "Um, what is this place?"

The proprietor smiled. "It's a place that can help you fulfill all of your dreams...or fantasies. A place that you might even find...if you excuse me for overhearing...an item or two to help you deal with your ex-fiance."
