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 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 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 10-pound 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." 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 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 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; but the duck call is $11.00 and the
catfish bait is $3.50."
