A woman went to a discount store
to purchase several items. When she finally got to the checker,
she learned one of her items had no price. She thought she'd die
of embarrassment when the checker got on the intercom and boomed
out for all the store to hear,
"Price check on lane thirteen. Tampax. Supersize."
As if that wasn't bad enough, the person looking for the price
misunderstood the word "Tampax" for
"Thumbtacks." In a businesslike tone, a voice boomed
back over the intercom, "Do you want the kind you
push in with your thumb or the kind you pound in with a
hammer?"
