The Fishing Rod

A woman goes into a store to buy a fishing 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 salesman is standing there, wearing dark glasses.
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 two meter Shakespeare
graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 5-kg. 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, says the
salesman.

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 salesman 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?"

"The Duck Caller is $11 and the Fish Bait is $3.50."
