The Joke

“Okay, okay, get this.”

“Oh, God. Not another lame joke.”

“Okay, so, these two guys walk into a department store.”

“Yeah, and…”

“They walk up to the manager and ask, ‘Do you sell ties?’”

sigh “Yeah, and…”

“The manager says, ‘Yes, we do.’ So, the first guy says, ‘Do you sell purple ties?’ and the manager says, ‘Of course.’”

“Oh, just get on with it.”

“So, the second guy says, ‘Do you sell purple ties with yellow stripes?’ The manager checks the tie rack and says, ‘Yes, we do.’ And the first guys says, ‘Well, I guess we’re having mashed potatoes again tonight.’”

“Wait… What? That doesn’t even make sense!”

“You expected it to make sense?” laughs “Guess the joke’s on you!”
