Proof before selling
A little old lady moves to a new town and goes to her local grocery
store to buy some cat food. She picks up 3 cans and takes them to the
check-out counter.
The girl at the cash register says, "I'm sorry but we can't sell you
cat food without proof that you have a cat. Lots of older people buy
cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying
the food for a real cat."
The little old lady doesn't like it, but she goes home and brings her
cat back to the store. They sell her the cat food.
The next day she goes in to buy 3 cans of dog food. Again the cashier
demands proof that she has a dog, because old people sometimes eat dog
food. She angrily goes home to get her dog. When she brings him back, she
gets her dog food.
The next day she comes into the store carrying a box with a hole in
the lid. When she asks the cashier to stick her finger in the hole.
The cashier refuses. "No, you might have a snake in there!"
The old lady insists, telling her that there's nothing alive in the
box.
So the cashier puts her finger in the box and feels something odd. She
pulls her finger out and says, "Eww, that smells like shit!"
The little old lady says, "It is. Now can I buy 3 rolls of toilet
paper?"
