A woman goes into Bass Pro Shop 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.
A Bass Pro Shop 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 breaks
wind. 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
