An old French lady had a small shop in her village for years until one day a huge corporate supermarket set up across the road from her little shop.
They put up signs advertising their prices, including one that said: Butter – 10 euros.
In response, the old lady added a sign to her own window: Butter – 9 euros.
The next day, the big supermarket had a new sign: Butter – 8 euros.
Indeed, the day after the lady’s sign said: Butter – 7 euros.
This went on for a while until eventually one of the lady’s customers pointed to the sign and said.
“Ma’am, you can’t keep your prices that low for long. These big companies can use their buying power to sell products cheaper, but a little store like yours can never compete.”
In response, the old French lady bent forward conspiratorially and muttered.
“Monsieur, I don’t even sell butter.”
LOL!!!
Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!
A 70-year-old woman chose to remain overnight in a costly hotel
A 70-year-old woman decided to stay at an expensive hotel for her birthday.
The next morning, she was appalled when the desk clerk gave her a bill for $250.00. She wanted to know why the charge was too high.
“It’s a nice hotel, but the rooms certainly aren’t worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay! I didn’t even have breakfast,” she told the clerk.
The clerk clarified that $250.00 is the standard price. At that point, the older lady insisted on talking with the manager.
The manager introduced himself and explained that the hotel “has an Olympic size swimming pool and a huge conference center which are available for use.”
“But I didn’t use them,” the old woman said.
“Well, they’re there and you could have,” he replied.
The manager proceeded with that she could likewise have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous.
“We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here,” he said.
“But I didn’t go to any of those shows,” she said.
The manager replied, “Well, we have them and you could have them.”
Regardless of what facility he recommended, the older lady would just answer, “But I didn’t use it!”
The manager then replied with his standard reaction. After arguing with him for several minutes, she decided to pay.
The manager was shocked when she handed him the check. “But ma’am, this check is only $50.00,” he said.
“That’s right. I charged you $200.00 for s-l.e.e.p.i.n.g with me,” replied the old lady.
“But I didn’t!” the manager shouted.
“Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have,” the old woman replied.
