Smile Humorous CRT story

I've been trying to find a suitable time to drive to Wisconsin to pick up a couple of CRTs I'm buying and while talking to the seller she related this about some CRTs that she was shipping:

One more funny thing I forgot to tell you. While I was repacking my boxes in the lobby of the UPS store, of course everyone who came in asked me what I was doing. When I said that I was sending vintage picture tubes, TWO different customers had no idea what I was talking about. When I explained what they were and where they went in the television, they were totally astonished, and it had never, ever occurred to them that there was a big tube behind the screen, and that surface was part of a giant tube.
