The gloves
A young man went to a counter in a big supermarket and said:
- Good afternoon, I’m looking for a pair of gloves.
- What kind of gloves would you like - made of synthetic
or genuine leather?
- Well, genuine, if it’s possible.
- Then please, go on to my colleague at the next
counter.
The young man went on.
- Hello, I’m looking for a pair of genuine - leather
gloves?
- What color would you like - black or brown?
- Hmm.. black.
- Okay, but black gloves are sold by my colleague at the
next counter, so please go forward to her.
The man went forward to the next counter.
- Hello, I’m looking for a pair of genuine-leather,
black gloves.
- What kind of leather would you like – calfskin or
sheepskin?
- Calfskin. It’s softer.
- Okay, but calfskin - leather gloves are sold by my
colleague at the next counter, so please go on.
Already a little annoyed the young man went on to the
next counter of the big supermarket.
- Hello, I’m looking for genuine - leather,
calfskin gloves, black in color?
- Oh, sure we have, but tell me please – should they be
internally or externally seamed?
- Well, I prefer them internally seamed, is that
alright?
- Of course, but that kind of gloves are sold by
my colleague at the next counter, so please go on to
her.
At the next counter:
- Hello, I’m looking for a pair of gloves of genuine
leather, calfskin, black-colored, internally seamed,
would you please give it to me?
- Oh, of course, I'll give it to you, but first tell me
please what it should be - with five fingers or with
just two fingers?
- Oh, come on! With five of course!
- Okay, we sure have it, but they are sold by my
colleague at the next counter, so please go on.
The young man was already very angry, but he went on to
the next counter.
- Hello, I’m looking for a pair of gloves of genuine
leather, calfskin, black-colored, internally seamed,
with five fingers, is it so hard to buy it?
- No sir, we have such a pair of gloves, but please let
me know what kind of clothes are you going to wear it
with?
- With a black leather jacket, okay?
- That’s okay, but could you bring here the leather
jacket so that we could see how it will match with the
gloves?
The young man couldn't stand it any longer and left. As
he went out of the supermarket he saw another man
throwing a huge bag!
- Here are my bathroom tiles, here is my shower battery,
here is my flushing cistern and my whole bathroom
equipment. Just give me a roll of toilet paper now!
