A bloke took his car to a second-hand car dealers and asked if they were interested in buying his battered old Vauxhall for £500. The salesman inspected the car and offered him 10% less than his asking price. The bloke, who wasn't very good with figures, said he'd go away and think about it. Later that night, he went to his local pub. He was sat at the bar thinking about the salesman's offer, when the barmaid asked him what he was deep in thought about. The bloke said, "If I offered you £500 less 10% what would you take off?" The barmaid hesitated for a moment then said, "Everything except my ear-rings!" |
