One day, an elderly
woman was walking along the street, coming home from the supermarket.
Her bag of groceries was especially heavy that day, and as she
passed Nathan Hale's Used Cars, she got an idea that she could
drive herself to the store and save a lot of shoe leather, time
and aching muscles. She walks into the car dealership and, as
it just so happens, gets the owner himself. He asks her what
kind of car she wants and she replies,
"Well, sonny,
I can't remember the name exactly, but it has something to do
with hate or anger."
The owner replies,
"Well, let's see... Oh yes, you want a Plymouth Fury! We
have a couple on the lot. What color do you prefer?"
The lady has some
trouble explaining the exact color to him, so she reaches into
her shopping bag, takes out an ear of corn, strips down the
shucks and says, "I want this color sonny."
To which Nathan replies,
"Ma'am I'm sorry, but we don't have any in this color.
Could I show you a nice blue one?"
"No son, I want
this color."
"But ma'am,
they didn't make that color! Maybe a cherry red one would suit
you?" says the owner, obviously worried about losing a
sale.
By this time, the
old lady gets mad, and starts throwing things at the owner,
thereby chasing him out of the office and into the lot. One
of the salesmen, coming into the office from the back door,
notices the disruption and asks the secretary what the old woman
was so upset about.
The secretary replies,
"Apparently, Hale hath no Fury like the woman's corn!"

I went to a couple
of car dealerships last week, and the first one I stopped at
was Kia, well nothing caught my eye, but the price was right,
then I went to a Ford dealer, again nothing really caught my
eye, but I looked anyway, then I go to the Chevy dealer, well
I see one that I like, the dealer does the once over with me,
then he pops the trunk, disapointed, I looked at the dealer
and said, "Well, Theres something missing" the dealer
,puzzled asks "What"? I said "at the ford dealership
I checked out, they had a new pair of shoes in the trunk of
every car"! Smiling the dealer says "Thats so they
can walk home"!
I was in a car dealership
a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage.
The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the
whole thing generally looked like an extra in the film "Twister".
I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver
had set the"cruise control" and then went in the back
to make a sandwich.
