\nIt is a well-known medical fact that losing your eyesight significantly sharpens your remaining senses, but one customer was about to find out just how terrifyingly accurate that could be.<\/p>\n
A woman walked into a sporting goods store looking for a birthday gift for her son. Knowing nothing about fishing, she randomly grabbed a rod and reel combo and carried it to the counter, where a clerk stood wearing dark glasses.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me,\u201d she said, \u201ccan you tell me if this is any good?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, I\u2019m completely blind,\u201d the clerk smiled warmly. \u201cBut if you toss it onto the counter, I can tell you everything you need to know just from the sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skeptical, she dropped it. Clatter!<\/p>\n
The clerk tilted his ear. \u201cAh. That\u2019s a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod, a Zebco 404 reel, and ten-pound test line. A solid, all-around setup, and lucky for you, it\u2019s on sale for just $20.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIncredible!\u201d she gasped, reaching into her purse. In her excitement, her credit card slipped out and hit the floor with a tiny flick.<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds like a MasterCard,\u201d the clerk noted smoothly.<\/p>\n
Blushing, she bent down to retrieve it, and the sudden physical exertion caused her to accidentally let out a loud, unmistakable fart. She froze in absolute horror, but quickly rationalized\u2014he was blind, there was no way he could look around and prove it came from her.<\/p>\n
The clerk tapped his screen. \u201cAlright, ma\u2019am, your total comes to $34.50.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait,\u201d she stammered, thoroughly confused. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say the rod and reel combo was only $20?\u201d<\/p>\n
The clerk flashed a brilliant grin.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, ma\u2019am, the combo is $20. But the Duck Call is $11, and the Catfish Bait is $3.50.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
