A woman goes into Cabela’s 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 Cabela’s 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 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 Master Card,” he says.
She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. 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 the
rod and reel were 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.”
