A lady goes into the local sporting goods store to buy a fishing rod to give to her husband for his birthday. A salesman wearing dark glasses with a dog is behind the counter and asks, "Can I help you ma'am?" "Well, I'd like to buy a fishing rod, can you tell me about this one?" The salesman replies, "I'm sorry ma'am but I am blind and can not see the rod you're referring too. However, if you'll drop it on the counter I'll tell you all about it as I can tell from the sound it makes." The lady picks up the rod, and drops it on the counter. "That's a Zebco 2500, fiberglass, 6.5', medium action - $15." Lady, " Wow". She finds another and does the same. "That's an Orion 35C, graphite, 6', light action - best used with ultralight tackle - $20." Very impressed the lady decides to buy the second one. As the man is ringing up the sale, the lady rips a big fart but feels no need to apologize as the salesman is blind and has no idea who farted. Salesman says, "That'll be $25." Lady, "TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!? YOU SAID $20." "That's right ma'am, $20 for the rod, $3 for the duck call and $2 for the catfish bait."
