The Wrong Way to Sell Powder and Perfume to a Man Shopping for His Wife
CLERK (Powdering nose.): “I‟ll be with you in a minute.”
CUSTOMER: “Do you sell powder here?”
CLERK: “Yes, we do.”
CUSTOMER: “Well, I‟d like to buy some.”
CLERK (Looking strangely at customer.): “Yes, what shade do you wear?”
CUSTOMER: “It‟s not for me; it‟s for my wife.”
CLERK: “Is she blonde or brunette?”
CUSTOMER: “She‟s a redhead.”
CLERK: “Well, here‟s something good for her.”
CUSTOMER: “How much?”
CLERK: “Let‟s see.” (Looks at label on box.) “It‟s $1.50.”
CUSTOMER: “Oh that‟s too much money. Do you have anything cheaper?”
CLERK: “Here is another one at $1.00 that‟s pretty good.”
CUSTOMER: “Well, what is the difference between the $1.00 and $1.50 box?”
CLERK: “Between you and me the color on the box is the only difference. All us girls use the red dollar box.” (Gets confidential with customer.)
CUSTOMER: “Humph! Give me the dollar box then.”
CLERK: “How are ya fixed for perfume?”
CUSTOMER: “No thanks, I never use it.”
