This comes from Mike…

Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife, Mary, to the hardware store to buy one. At the hardware store, Mary noticed a beautiful faucet on a top shelf while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on another customer.

“That’s pewter and it costs $300,” Walt replied.

“My goodness, that’s a lot of money for a faucet!” Mary exclaimed. Clearly disappointed, she went on 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, “Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?”

“No,” replied Mary, “but I will for the faucet…”

There’s a moral here somewhere but it escapes me…
