This guy went to a hardware store to purchase some plumbing supplies. He handed the elderly clerk his list & the elderly clerk went to the back of the store to fill out his order. After a while, the guy grew hungry & looked around for a vending machine but couldn't find any. He looked around the counter & BEHOLD! a small bowl of shelled peanuts. He grabbed a few, threw them into his mouth, looked around grabbed a few more & threw them into his mouth, looked around again, grabbed a handful, threw them into his mouth just as the elderly clerk returned with his order. Feeling guilty, the guy says, "Uh, I got hungry waiting & I couldn't find a vending machine but found these shelled peanuts behind the counter. I'll pay you what I owe you for them." "Aw", said the elderly clerk, "it's alright. Since I lost my teeth, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them anyway."
