A wife comes home and finds her husband sitting next to a new bathtub on the kitchen table. Shocked, she asks him where it came from.
“Well,” he says. “I went out today to pick up some tiles for our bathroom. So, I walked around the store, looking for the perfect color, when I saw the perfect shade of green. It was just right for the shower, but they looked a little big, so it asked customer service if they…
His wife interrupted him. “That’s fine, but why is there a bathtub on the kitchen table?”
He replied. “I was getting to that. Anyways, I found the perfect tiles, but on the way out I saw the cheapest bathtub… I think they must have ordered too many bathtubs, because it was a nice one, and only fifty dollars, although you’d think they could keep them in the backroom since it’s not like bathtubs…
His wife yelled to interrupt. “We already have a bathtub though! Did you think we had a second bathroom?”
The husband continued. “Don’t worry, I’m getting to it. I knew we already had a bathtub, so I walked by even though it was a really nice deal. You know most bathtubs are about three hundred dollars? Fifty is just a crazy good deal. Anyways, I tried to keep walking, but this customer rep just so aggressive about selling me the bathtub so…”
“Oh honey.” His wife said. “You know they’ll say anything to make a sale. Let’s go and see if we can return…”
Her husband held up a hand. “No, no, I know how to handle sales reps. I just said, ‘we already have a bathtub, do you think we have a second bathroom or something?’ He kept trying to sell it to me though, I honestly don’t know why he thought he could sell someone a bathtub of all things. In the end I just paid for my stuff and walked out…”
“What? Then where did you get the bathtub?”
“I’m getting to it. Anyways, I walked out to my car, but someone had dumped a bathtub right behind it! I guess they got suckered by that sales guy but didn’t want to throw it away properly, which is really a shame, that’s why the environment is going to be so…”
“You didn’t have to bring it home yourself though! Now what are we going to do with it!”
“No, no, don’t worry about that. I just dragged the bathtub out of the way and went on my way home. While I was driving home though, something strange happened. An old woman at the roadside flagged me down. She looked really weird, and I thought she wanted to tell my fortune, but she just pulled on this tarp behind her, and there was a bathtub under it!”
“Huh? Why would you take her bathtub?”
“No, no, I’m getting to that. I told her to pound sand and drove off. I finished driving only about twenty minutes ago, and I just started unloading my tiles…”
“Where did the bathtub come from then?”
“Relax, I’ll tell you now. Anyways, I just walked in like normal…”
“And?”
“I found this bathtub on the kitchen table.”
