Bass Pro Shop clerk .... A stirring story

[Niner]

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

an d 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

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."
