Read My Lips - the blog

Sept. 23, 2005

A man walks into a drug store and wanders confusedly up and down the aisles.

The sales girl notices his actions and asks if she can assist in locating whatever it is he seeks.

He answers that he was sent to get a box of tampons for his wife.

She directs him to the correct aisle.

A few minutes later, he returns with a huge bag of cotton balls and a spool of twine. Confused, she inquires, "Sir, I thought you were wanting tampons?"

He smiles and replies, "You see, it's like this . . . yesterday, I sent my wife to the store for a carton of cigarettes. She came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers because it's so very much cheaper. I figure whatever is good enough for the gander is good enough for the goose.”
