Cigarettes and tampons
A man walks into a pharmacy
and wanders up and down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him
and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is
looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the
correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he
deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused,
"Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, " You see,
it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of
cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers;
cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own
.......... so does she.
