DON'T SEND YOUR WIFE TO THE HARDWARE STORE

Earl was fixing a door and he found

that he needed a new hinge,

so he sent his wife Mary to the hardware store.

At the hardware store,

Mary saw a beautiful teapot on a top shelf

while she was waiting for Carl, the manager,

to finish waiting on a customer.

When Carl was finished,

Mary asked "How much for the teapot?"

Carl replied, "That's silver and it costs $300."

"My goodness that sure is a lot of money!" Mary exclaimed.

Then she proceeded to describe

the hinge that Earl had sent her to buy,

and Carl went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Carl yelled,

"Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?"

Mary replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."
