I never told this story before, but I remembered it today and it made me laugh. The greatest customer ever: I used to work as a bagger at a small, family owned grocery store while I was in high school.

One day a cheerful old woman came through the checkout with a cart full of groceries.

Me: ” paper or plastic?”
Customer: ”  I’d like double bagged paper and I’d like you to make each bag as heavy as you can.”
Me: “sure thing!”

A bit of a strange request, sure, but anything that broke up the monotony of the day was welcomed.
I started packing her bags with twice as many items as usual.

The customer interrupted me to say: “You can surely fit more than that, right? make ’em real heavy for me honey ”  I raised an eyebrow but carried on, making the bags even heavier and more loaded than before.

She then asked me to take the groceries to her car, which is something we used to do at our store. I managed to load her entire cart into three faily heavy bags and bring them out to the car. Even I struggled to lift just one of those things.

Then the woman turns to me and says: ” in case you’re wondering – I just had a fight with my husband and it’s my turn to pick the groceries.”

Me: “oh.”
Customer: It’s also his turn to unload the car”

Then she winked at me, got in her car, and grove away.

I’ll never forget you old lady. You taught me an important lesson: never mess with the elderly.

A judge tells the defendant, “You’re charged with attacking your boss with a hammer.”

“You jerk!” yells a voice from the back of the courtroom.

“You’re also charged with attacking a bartender with a hammer,” the judge continued.

“Jerrrkkk!” bellows the same man.

“Sir,” says the judge, “one more outburst, and I’ll charge you with contempt.”

“I’m sorry, Your Honor,” says the man. “But I’ve been this jerk’s neighbor for ten years, and every time I asked to borrow  a hammer, he said he didn’t have one.”

A therapist has a theory that couples who make love once a day are the happiest. So he decides to test this theory. He convenes all the couples he can find at a special seminar.

He then starts by asking the many people in the audience.  “How many people here make love once a day?”  Half the people raise their hands, each of them grinning widely.

“Once a week?” A third of the audience members raise their hands, their grins a bit less vibrant.
 
“How many of you make love once a month?” A few hands tepidly go up. No grins could be sighted.

Then he asks, “OK, how about once a year?” To his shock, one man in the back jumps up and down, jubilantly waving his hands and whistling.
 
The therapist is shocked—this man’s reaction completely disproves his theory! “If you make love only once a year,” he asks, “why are you so happy?”

The man yells, “Today’s the day!”

Walter took his wife Ethel to the state fair every year, and every time he would say to her, “Ethel, you know that I’d love to go for a ride in that helicopter.” But Ethel would always reply, “I know that Walter, but that helicopter ride is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars.”

Finally, they went to the fair, and Walter said to Ethel, “Ethel, you know I’m 87 years old now. If I don’t ride that helicopter this year, I may never get another chance.” Once again Ethel replied, “Walter, you know that helicopter is 50 dollars and 50 dollars is 50 dollars.”

This time the helicopter pilot overheard the couple’s conversation and said, “Listen folks, I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll take both of you for a ride; if you can both stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word I won’t charge you! But if you say just one word, it’s 50 dollars.”

Walter and Ethel agreed and up they went in the helicopter. The pilot performed all kinds of fancy moves and tricks, but not a word was said by either Walter or Ethel. The pilot did his death-defying tricks over and over again, but still there wasn’t so much as one word said. When they finally landed, the pilot turned to Walter and said, “Wow! I’ve got to hand it to you. I did everything I could to get you to scream or shout out, but you didn’t. I’m really impressed!”

Walter replied, “Well to be honest I almost said something when Ethel fell out but, you know, 50 dollars is 50 dollars!”
