Bass Pro Shop clerk .... A stirring story
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 4:50 pm
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."
