I was installing a new door and found that one of the hinges was missing. I asked my wife Mary if she would go to Lowe’s and pick up a hinge. Mary agreed to go.

 

While she was waiting for the manager, Charlie, to finish serving a customer, her eye caught a beautiful bathroom faucet. 

 

When the manager was finished, Mary asked him, “How much is that faucet?” 

 

Charlie replied, “That’s a gold-plated faucet and the price is $500.00.”

 

Mary exclaimed, “My goodness, that’s an expensive faucet – certainly out of my price range.”

 

She then proceeded to describe the hinge that I had sent her to buy. Charlie said that he had them in stock and it was $3.49.

 

He then went into the storeroom to get one. From the storeroom he yelled, “Ma’am, you wanna’ screw for the hinge?”

 

Mary shouted back, “No, but I will for the faucet.”

 

This is why you can’t send a woman to Lowe’s.
