It was the afternoon of the cup final and I was working behind the counter one day when a lady approached and gave me some items that she planned to buy.   “Is that cash, cheque or charge madam?”, I asked, after folding the items the woman wished to purchase.  As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed that she was carrying a TV remote control.  I asked, “Do you always carry a remote control when you go shopping?”  She replied “My husband would not come shopping with me, and I figured that this was the most fitting punishment I could legally impose on him?”
