An elderly, but elegant lady goes into a
fishing tackle shop to buy a fishing rod
and reel for her grandson's 15th birthday
later that week.
She doesn't know which one to get, so
she just grabs one of each and goes
over to the counter.
The salesman is standing there, wearing
dark glasses. She says, 'Excuse me.
Can you tell me anything about this rod
and reel?'
He says, 'Madam, I'm completely blind;
but, if you'll drop it on the counter, I
can tell you everything you need to
know about it from the sound it
makes’.
She doesn't believe him but drops it on
the counter anyway. He says, 'That's a
two meter Shakespeare graphite rod,
with a Greys reel and 5-lb test fluorocarbon
line. It's a good all around combination,
and it's on sale this week for
£144.
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 Visa card, says the salesman. As the
lady bends down to pick up the card,
she accidentally passes wind.
At first she is really embarrassed but
then realises there is no way the blind
salesman could tell it was she who had
passed wind. The salesman rings up
the sale and says, 'that’ll be £158.50’
please.
The lady is totally confused by this and
asks; didn’t you tell me it was on sale
for £144? How did you get to £158.50?
‘The Duck Caller is £11 and the Fish
Bait is £3.50.'
