A woman goes into Wal-Mart to buy a rod and reel for her grandson, and not knowing anything about them, she just picked one up and brought it to the counter where the clerk, wearing dark glasses said "may I help you” the woman said "can you tell me if this is a good rod and reel?" The man replied "Madame, I am completely blind, but if you will just drop it on the counter, I can tell you all about it from the sound." the woman was skeptical, but held it about two feet up and let it fall. The man said "that's a graphite Shakespeare rod with a Zebco 404 reel, and 10 pound test line. All in all, a great buy at our sale price of $20." The woman was sold, and reaching into her purse, she dropped her credit card on the floor, and when she bent down to pick it up, she farted! Knowing the man was blind; she just fanned the air with her hand hoping he'd think it was somebody else. When the man rang up the rod and reel, he said "that'll be $33.50" the woman said "I thought you said it was on sale for twenty dollars?" The man smiled and said "twenty bucks for the rod and reel, eleven bucks for the duck call, and $2.50 for the catfish bait"!!!
Free Haircut
A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment: shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. he placed the boy in the chair.
"I'm going to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"
A young man from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Minnesota."
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many customers bought something from you today?
The kid says "One".
The boss says "Just One? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid says "$101,237.65".
The boss says "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"
The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?"
The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.' "
A Crowded Store
It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store.
A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colorful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line...
"That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!"
