- AFTER MUCH STUDY AND HARD WORK,
- HERE IS MY IMPROVED VERSION OF THEIR JOKE.
-
- I just got back from the supermarket up the street. When I went in, one
- of the assistants asked me:
-
- "Can I help you?"
-
- "Hi, yes, I need a pound of potatoes, please."
-
- In salesperson school, I am certain that they teach you that the correct
- response to this question is, "Why, certainly, here's this $4,000.00
- Super Deluxe Potatoe (tm)." Apparently this assistant had missed that
- part, or she just did the take-home version of the test because her
- response was:
-
- "What for?"
-
- Ever the helpful patron, I replied, "I want to mash them and eat them
- with roast beef and Yorkshire pudding."
-
- And she accused *me* of being a smartass. :}
-
- HAW! HAW!! HAW!!
- A JOKE ABOUT A POTATOE!!!%#!!
