A woman goes into Wal-Mart to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's
birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she grabs one and
goes over to the counter and A Wal-Mart associate is standing there with dark shades on.
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 that you need to know about it 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 Zebco 404 reel and
10lb test line...It's a good all round combination and it's on sale this
week for only $20.00." She says, "It's amazing that you can tell all of that just by the
sound of it dropping on the counter; I'll take it."
The woman opens her purse and sees her credit card holder drop on
the floor. As she bends down to pick it up she accidentally passes gas. At
first she is really embarrassed, but then concludes there is no way he could tell it
was she that passed gas. 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 says, "Didn't you tell me
it was on special for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?"
He replies, "Yes, Ma-am, the rod and reel is $20.00; the duck call
is $11.00 and the catfish bait is $3.50."
