Say what? Nowhere, positively nowhere on my site do I say bupkus about translation services. I am positively boggled by this one. And SWAHILI? I mean, push comes to shove, we have a range of 2nd/3rd languages here, ranging from the usual for the USA (Spanish/French) to the less-so (Serbian, Russian and a few other bits and pieces of this and that) to babble along, passably, in an email--but translate a book? NO! No, I say.
Every time something really bizarre occurs, like this, I literally go stare at my site. I try to figure out what the hell happened. Where that idea would have come from.
Mind-blowing.

LOL, that's so recognizable!
You don't want to know how often we get people in our store asking if we sell for instance: toilet seats, shower heads, knobs for the radiator, gas things, birdhouses, car and boat parts (not lightbulbs), etc. When you walk into our store you see: lightbulbs, parts to put together or repair your own light fixture, wall socket and switched, extension cords, cables and plugs. Seriously, toilet seats? When people ask for water or gas things I just say that gas and water don't play well with electricity.
Most of the time you can see that people know we don't sell those items, but they don't know where to get them and don't want to ask us directly if we know where they can buy it.
