did this happen to mel? or just a joke?

 

While installing a new door, I found one of the hinges missing.  I asked my wife if she would go to Home Depot to pick one up.  She said she would.

 

While waiting for the manager to finish serving another customer, her eye caught two beautiful bathroom faucets - one for the sink and one for the bathtub.

 

When the manager was ready to help my wife, she asked, "How much are those faucets?"

 

The manager replied, "They are gold-plated faucets and very expensive!  $5,000 each!"    Mary exclaimed, "My goodness, they are really expensive - certainly out of my price range!"  She then proceeded to describe the hinge I had sent her to buy.

 

The manager said he had them in stock, and their price was $3.49.  He went to the back room to get them.

 

From the back room, the manager yelled, "Ma'am, you wanna screw for the hinge?"

 

Mary shouted back, "No, but I will for the faucets."
