A woman goes into a Bass Pro shop 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 Bass Pro shop associate is standing there wearing dark shades.
She says, "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and
reel?"
"Ma'am, I'm completely blind, but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can
tell you everything from the sound it makes."
She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.
"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 Master Card."
She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts.
"That'll be $49.50 please, ma'am."
"Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you
get to $49.50?"
"The rod and reel is $20.00, ma'am, but the duck call is $11.00 and the
bear spray $18.50."
