Dress Material

Walking up to the counter at a fabric store,a pretty girl asked,“I want to buy this material for a new dress.How much does it cost?”

“Only one kiss per yard,”replied the smirking male clerk.

“That's fine,”replied the girl.“I'll take ten yards.”With expectation written all over his face,the clerk quickly measured out and wrapped the cloth,then teasingly held it out.The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old lady standing beside her.

“Grandma will pay the bill.”

Ways and Means

A man handed a pair of slacks to the departmentstore clerk. “I’d like these altered, please,” he said. The clerk asked for the sales receipt, but after searching his pockets, the man replied he had lost it. The clerk informed him that it was store policy not to do free alterations without a receipt.

“Okay, then,”the man said, “I’d like to return the slacks." The clerk processed the return and gave him cash equaling the cost of the slacks.

The man pushed the money back across the counter. “Now I want to buy the slacks,” he said. The clerk rang up the sale, bagged the slacks and handed them to him with a receipt. Triumphantly, he put the slacks and the receipt on the counter. “I’d like to have these altered, please.”

花招

一位男子把一条宽松裤递给百货商店职员。“我想换一条。”他说。店员向他要售货收据。这位男子翻遍了他的口袋,最后只得说收据丢了。店员告诉他说没有收据不准随意更换,这是商店的规章。

“那好吧,”这位男子说,“我要把这条裤子退掉。”店员按程序办理了退货手续并把等于裤子价格的现金给了他。

这位男子把钱从柜台上推回去。“现在我要买这条裤子,”他说。店员用收银机收下了钱,把裤子装进包里,并把它们连同收据递给了他。

这男子终于以胜利者的姿态把裤子和收据放在柜台上,说:“我要把这条裤子换了。”

A Bargain

A friend of mine,while visiting his mother in Australia,took her to a shoe store to purchase a new pair of shoes.While she was trying on different styles,my friend took the manager aside.“When she picks out a pair that she likes,”he said,“just tell her that the price is 12 dollars.I'll pay the regular price,whatever it is.”

The following week,my friend was walking by the shoe store and the manager recognized him and called him in.

“What's the problem?”asked my friend as he entered the store.“Wasn't my check any good?”

“That's not it,”answered the manager.“The problem is that your mother is bringing all her friends in for those twelvedollar shoes!”

交易

我的一位朋友到澳大利亚去看他的妈妈,一天他带他的母亲来到一家鞋店买新鞋。在他妈妈试鞋的时候,我的朋友把经理拉到一边说:“等我妈妈挑好了她喜欢的那双鞋,你就告诉她那双鞋的价钱是12美元。不管那双鞋需要多少钱,我都会按正常价付你。”

第二个星期,我的朋友从那个鞋店的门口过,鞋店的经理认出了他,并把他叫了进去。“出什么问题了?”我的朋友一迈进鞋店就问,“难道是我的支票不行吗?”

经理说:“不是那么回事,问题是你妈妈不断地带她的朋友来买那12美元一双的鞋”。

The Tie

A rather elderly lady wandered into a haberdashery.

“I want to see some ties,”said she.

The salesman showed her a large assortment.“I'll take this green one,”she declared.

“I'd like to make a sale,lady,”admitted the salesman,“but I don't believe that your husband would wear that kind of tie because it's an offshade green.”

“Listen,”she said,“he'll wear anything I buy for him-it's for his funeral...”

领带

“我想看看领带。”她说。

售货员拿了各色品种给她看。“我要这个绿的。”她说。

“我很想卖给您,夫人。”售货员说,“可是我觉得你丈夫不会喜欢戴这种领带的,这种绿色太暗了。”

“听着,”她说,“我给他买什么他就得戴什么--这是为他的葬礼买的。”
