Home Depot
A husband was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife to Home Depot to get one.
At Home Depot, she saw a beautiful bathroom faucet while she was waiting for the manager, Walt, to finish waiting on a customer.
When he was finished, she asked..."How much for that faucet?"
Walt replied, "That's pewter and it costs $300."
"My goodness that sure is a lot," she exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that her husband had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.
From the back room Walt yelled, "Lady, you wanna screw for that hinge?"
The wife yelled back, "No, but I will for the faucet."
