Gone Fishing

A woman goes into the fishing tackle shop to buy a fishingrod 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.

An assistant is standing there wearing dark shades.
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 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."
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 farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind assistant could tell it was she who farted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around.
The assistant 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 to £34.50?"

He replies, "Yes, Madam. The rod and reel is £20.00, but the Duck Call is £11.00 and the Bear Repellent Spray is £3.50."

Re: Gone Fishing

That was really funny, it got a snigger out of family members who are generally pretty staid.
