A woman goes into the fishing store 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.
An 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 Shake graphite rod with a
Z 404 reel and 10-LB. test line.
It’s a good all-around combination and it’s on sale
this week for only $40.00.”
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 gold 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 man rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be
$54.50 please.”
The woman is totally confused by this and asks,
“Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for
$40.00? How did you get $54.50?”
He replies, “Yes, Ma’am. The rod and reel is $40.00,
but the Duck Call is $11.00 and the Bear Repellent
is $3.50.”
What is the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don’t know, and I don’t care.
“An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker
bar by mistake...
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of
Jack Daniels.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, ‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?’
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him
says, ‘Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is
only fair, given that you are blind, that you should
know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl with a ‘Billy-Club’.
3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with
a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a
professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
‘Now, think about
