A woman goes into 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?'
>
>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 t he floor.
>
>'Oh, that sounds like a Master 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 tooted. 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'
