The Tampax Incident

A lady picked up several items at a
discount store. When she finally got up to the checker,
she learned that one of her items had no price tag.
Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the
intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear,
"PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX SUPER SIZE."
That was bad enough, but somebody at
the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word
"Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS." In a business-like tone, a
voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU WANT THE
KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND
IN WITH A HAMMER?"
