"GOOD SALE"
WHEN THE STORE MANAGER RETURNED FROM LUNCH, HE NOTICED HIS CLERK'S HAND WAS BANDAGED, BUT BEFORE HE COULD ASK ABOUT THE BANDAGE, THE CLERK SAID HE HAD SOME VERY GOOD NEWS FOR HIM.
"GUESS WHAT, SIR?" THE CLERK SAID. "I FINALLY SOLD THAT TERRIBLE, UGLY SUIT WE'VE HAD SO LONG!"
"DO YOU MEAN THAT REPULSIVE PINK-AND-BLUE DOUBLE-BREASTED THING?" THE MANAGER ASKED.
"THAT'S THE ONE!"
"THAT'S GREAT!" THE MANAGER CRIED, "I THOUGHT WE'D NEVER GET RID OF THAT MONSTROSITY! THAT HAD TO BE THE UGLIEST SUIT WE'VE EVER HAD! BUT TELL ME. WHY IS YOUR HAND BANDAGED?"
"OH," THE CLERK REPLIED, "AFTER I SOLD THE GUY THAT SUIT, HIS GUIDE DOG BIT ME."
