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 just grabs one and
>> goes over to the counter. A Wal-Mart 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 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 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 Visa 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
>> farted. 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 it
>
>> was 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.
