A grocery clerk was busy stacking cans when a woman tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Could you tell me where the broccoli is?" "I'm sorry Ma'am," said the clerk, "but we're all out of broccoli." The woman went back to her shopping and the clerk went back to stacking cans. A few minutes later the clerk felt another tap on the shoulder and the woman said, "Excuse me, but I still can't seem to find the broccoli." "We don't have any more broccoli Ma'am, but there should be plenty tomorrow." The clerk went back to stacking the cans, but, sure enough in about five minutes he felt another tap on the shoulder. "Could you please help me find the broccoli," asked the woman. "Yes, but first, could you answer a couple of questions for me?" asked the clerk. The woman agreed and the clerk asked, "How do you spell cat as in catastrophe?" "C-A-T," said the woman. "Right!" said the clerk. "Now how do you spell dog as in dogmatic?" "D-O-G," said the woman. "Right!" said the clerk. "And how do you spell fuck as in broccoli?" "There's no fuck in broccoli," said the woman. "Right!" said the clerk.
