I have several five star gems to share, but, alas, Rik and others might find them a tinge off color. Perhaps if I start with a mild one....
A kid applies for a job in a hardware store. The owner explains to him that the secret to working there is to get the customer to buy more than he needs, and offers to demonstrate the technique on the first customer.
A man comes in and says "I'd like to buy a bag of lawn seed". The owner responds, "Certainly. And can I interest you in a lawnmower with that?" The man says "A lawnmower? What do I need a lawnmower for?" The owner says "You're obviously planting a lawn- you'll need a lawnmower", and the customer agrees to the purchase.
The owner asks the kid if he understands. When he nods in agreement, the owner tells him he's up next. A man comes into the store and says "I'll have a box of tampons". The kid says "Certainly, sir. And can I interest you in a lawnmower with that?" The customer and owner are incredulous, and the man says "Now why on Earth would I need a lawnmower with that?" To which the kid replies.......
Your weekend's shot. You might as well mow the lawn.
