A classy grandmother walked into a fishing tackle shop looking for the perfect birthday gift for her grandson.
Problem was… she didn’t know the difference between a fishing rod and a broomstick.
So she grabbed the first rod-and-reel combo she saw and carried it to the counter.
Behind the register stood a man wearing dark sunglasses.
“Excuse me, sir,” she asked politely, “could you tell me anything about this fishing set?”
The cashier smiled.
“Ma’am, I’m completely blind. But if you drop it on the counter, I can identify it by the sound.”
Now she was curious.
She let the rod fall lightly onto the counter.
Without missing a beat, the man said:
“That’s a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-pound test line. Excellent starter combo. And lucky for you, it’s on sale today for just twenty dollars.”
The woman stared at him in disbelief.
“That’s incredible! I’ll take it!”
As she opened her purse to pull out her wallet, her credit card slipped from her fingers and hit the floor.
The cashier nodded instantly.
“That sounds like a MasterCard.”
Now she was REALLY impressed.
But as she bent down to pick it up…
PFFFFT!
A loud fart escaped.
The woman froze in horror.
Her face turned crimson.
But after a second, she relaxed.
He’s blind, she thought.
There’s no way he knows it was me.
Trying to act normal, she stood up straight while the cashier calmly rang up the purchase.
“That’ll be $34.50, ma’am.”
She blinked.
“Wait a minute… wasn’t the rod and reel only twenty dollars?”
“Yes, ma’am,” the cashier replied.
“The fishing rod is twenty…”
“…but the duck call is eleven dollars…”
“And the bear repellent is three-fifty.”😂🤣
