Buying Fishing Gear From a Blind Clerk

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.

'It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it
dropping on the counter', she says. '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
tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person
around.

The clerk 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 Bear Repellent is $3.50.'
