"Getting Batteries"
My husband and I had bought some gadgets
for our almost teen-age grandsons and were
leaving the store when we realized we didn't
have batteries. He stepped over to a counter
to get the batteries but couldn't attract the
attention of the clerk. I waited for a little while
then said, "I'll get a clerk over here real fast."
With that, I pulled out my pocket tape measure
and started measuring a large TV set. Amazingly,
a clerk leap-frogged over several pieces of
furniture to reach my side in jig time. To his "may
I help you?" I said - "Of course. I'll take 8 of those
batteries over there.

"Desperation"
I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up
roses for my wife. As the clerk was putting the
finishing touches on the bouquet, a young man
burst through the door, breathlessly requesting
a dozen red roses.
"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered
our last bunch." The desperate customer turned
to me and begged, "May I please have those roses?"
"What happened?" I asked. "Did you forget your
wedding anniversary?"
"It's even worse than that," he confided. "I broke
my wife's hard drive!"
