never send a woman to the hardware store

[Mervin]

Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary, to the hardware store.



At the hardware store, Mary saw a beautiful bathroom faucet on display while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer.
When Walt was finished, Mary asked, 'How much for that faucet?'

Walt replied, 'That's pewter and it costs $300.'

'My goodness that sure is a lot of money!' Mary exclaimed.

Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie
had sent her to buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it.

From the back room Walt yelled, 'Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?'

'No, but I will for the faucet.'....

.. and this is why you can't send a woman to the hardware store......
