Whatever You Want
A store manager overheard a clerk saying to a customer, “No, Ma’am, we haven’t had any for some weeks now, and it doesn’t look as if we’ll be getting any soon.”
Alarmed by what was being said, the manager rushed over to the customer who was walking out the door and said, “That isn’t true, Ma’am. Of course, we’ll have some soon. In fact, we placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago.” The lady looked at him, strangely, and went on her way.
Then the manager drew the clerk aside and growled, “Never, never, never, say we don’t have something! If we don’t have it, say we ordered it, and it’s on its way. Now, what was it she wanted?”
“Rain,” said the clerk.
