A woman goes into Harrods 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. The Harrods salesman 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 you need to know about it 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 £44."
>
> 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 likea Visa card," he says.
>
> As the lady bends down to pick up the card, she accidentally farts. At
> first she is really embarrassed but then realises there is no way the
> blind salesman could tell it was she who had farted.
> The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be £58.50 please."
>
> The woman is totally confused by this and asks, "Didn't you tell me it
> was on sale for £44. How did you get to £58.50?"
> He replies, "Yes Madam, the rod and reel are £44, but the Duck Caller is
> £11 and the Fish Bait is £3.50."
