WHY YOU DON’T SEND WOMEN TO THE HARDWARE STORE

One Saturday morning, Charlie was fixing a cabinet door. He found that he needed a new hinge to replace one, worn out. He sent his wife Bev to the local True Value. Once she arrived, she began walking up and down aisles filled with bewildering “stuff.” Bev saw a beautiful satin looking, bathroom faucet while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer.

When Walt was finished, Bev asked “How much for that faucet?” Walt replied, “That’s pewter and it costs $300.” “My goodness, that sure is a lot of money!” Bev 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, “Bev, you wanna screw for that hinge?”

Bev replied, ”No, but I will for the faucet.”

AND THAT......is why you can’t send a woman to the hardware store.
