"Refrigerator Problems"

When the icemaker in our new refrigerator broke,
my husband dropped by the store to arrange for
repairs. Because the sun was bright, my husband's
eyes hadn't adjusted to the dim light inside in time
to see a woman sitting on the floor examining
carpet samples.

He stepped on her leg and she screamed, causing
him to jump into a display of fireplace tools that
went crashing in every direction.

Unnerved, my husband stumbled over to the service
desk, and as he went to rest his hands on the counter,
he flipped over a bowl full of little mints, scattering
them everywhere.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he
announced to the wide-eyed woman working there,
"My refrigerator doesn't work."

"I don't doubt it," she replied.
