From Ernie:<\/p>\n
A woman goes into a store to buy a fishing rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday.\u00c2\u00a0 She doesn’t know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. The salesman is standing there, wearing dark glasses. She says, ” Excuse me. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?” He says, “Madam, I’m completely blind; but, if you’ll drop it on the\u00c2\u00a0 counter, I can tell you everything youneed to know about it from the sound it makes.” She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.
\nHe says, “That’s a two meter Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404\u00c2\u00a0 reel and 5-kg. test line. It’s a good all around combination,and it’s on sale this week for $44.”
\nShe says, “It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I’lltake it!” As
\nshe opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.
\n“Oh ,that sounds like a Visa card,” says the salesman.
\nAs the lady bends down to pick up the card, she accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed but then realizes there is no way\u00c2\u00a0 the blind salesman could tell it was she who had farted.
\nThe salesman rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be $58.50 please.”
\nThe woman is totally confused by this and asks, “Didn’t you tell me it was on sale for $44?. How did you get to $58.50?”
\n“The Duck Caller is $11 and the Fish Bait is $3.50.” he replys.<\/span><\/p>\n
