Rod and Reel
A woman goes
into a country store to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's
birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one
and goes
over to the counter.
An associate is
standing there wearing dark shades. She says,
'Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and
reel?'
He says, 'Ma'am,
I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the
counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.'
She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.
He says, 'That's
a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel
and 10-LB. Test line. It's a good all around combination; and
it's on sale
this week for only $20.00.'
She says, 'It's
amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it
dropping on the counter. I'll take it!' As she opens her purse,
her credit
card drops on the floor.
'Oh, that sounds
like a Master Card,' he says.
She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts.
At first she is
really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind
clerk could tell
it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was
the only person around?
The man rings up
the sale and says, 'That'll be $34..50 please.'
The woman is
totally confused by this and asks, 'Didn't you tell me the rod
and reel were on sale for $20.00?
How did you get
$34.50?'
He replies,
'Yes, ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is
$11.00 and the Catfish Bait is $3.50.
