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 like
a 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 realizes 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."
