JOCK STRAP
"Sarah, can you please lock up for me today," Mr.
James asked while putting on his trench cost, "I'm meeting my wife for dinner
down town, I'd really appreciate it!?!" "No problem, Mr. J," Sarah Wagner
replied while pulling down down the shade over the front door and giving the
lock a twist, "I'd be glad to, and tell Mrs. James hi for me, okay!?!" "Sure
will," he answered while heading for the back door, "and thanks again, see ya
manana!!!" Sarah went directly to the cash register and pulled out the daily
receipts and began sorting the bills by denomination when she heard a persistent
tapping on the front door window!!! "Can't they read the sign, were closed," she
muttered to herself as she walked over to the door and lifted the shade aside to
see who it was, "we closed five minutes ago young man, come back tomorrow, we
open at ten!!!" The young man had such a long sad look on his face, and after
pleading with her to let him in, she rolled her eyes and unlocked the door and
let him come it!!!
"Thank you so much," he said thankfully, "I don't know what I would have done it
wouldn't have let me in!!!" "Okay," she said evenly, "now that you're in, what
can I get for you!?!" He glanced around the room as if he was looking for
something, and then asked, "Is there anyone else who could help me, I mean like
a man!?!" "Sorry," she replied a little bit exasperated, "I'm the only one here,
now if there' something you need, fine, if not I wanna get home!!!" He stood
there forlornly staring at the floor before almost whispering, "I need and
athletic supporter, you know, a jock strap!" A small smile broke out over her
face as she took him by the arm to the rear of the store and showed him a
display case the held several brands and styles, "Take a look at these, I think
that you'll find one that fits you needs, when you're ready, I'll be up at the
cash register!!!" Sarah left the young man in the rear of the store and went
back to counting the money, when about a minute or so later the young man
appeared at her side and asked, "Do you have any that are a bit larger!?!"
"Son," she replied smoothly, "one size fits all!!!" Shaking his head from side
to side he remarked, "I've already tried those kinds, and they're way to small
for me!!!" Sarah looked up from her counting, and again led the young man back
to the display case where she offered, "Now look, it ways right here one size
fits all, and this is all we have, so what's the problem!?!"
