Incident at the sporting goods store

A woman goes into the local sporting goods store to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.

A store associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, 'Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?'

He says, 'Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.'

She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.

He says, 'That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 12-LB. Test line. It's a good all around combination; and it's on sale this week for only $20.00.'

She says, 'It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!' As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

'Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,' he says.

She bends down to pick it up and accidentally breaks wind . At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted . Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around?

The man rings up the sale and says, 'That'll be $34.50 please.'

The woman is totally confused by this and asks, 'Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?'

He replies, 'Yes, ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call
Is $11.00 and the Catfish Bait is $3.50.

So it is true when one sense is loss another is enhanced. The Lord does work in mysterious ways.

I have the same duck call, and it works well for locating turkeys too

Priest,Minister and the Rabiah go row boat fishing at the little local lake,after a while the Priest has to take a leak....he steps over the side of the boat and walks across the water to the latrine.....he returns and fishes again…..10 minutes the Minister does the exact same thing,out of the boat,across the water,returns when he's finished...the Rabiah hasn't said a word because he's still astonished!....he thinks to himself "I'll try that"...he steps out of the boat,Splash!! into the water he goes!!...the Priest turns to the Minister and says "hmmm' I guess he didn't know where the stepping stones were
