When Jane reached the check-out, she learned that
one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her
embarrassment when the checker got on the
intercom and boomed out for all the store to
hear: "Price check on lane 12, Tampax, supersize."
If that was bad enough, somebody at the rear of
the store misunderstood the word "tampax"for "thumbtacks".
In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back overthe intercom:
"Do you want the kind you push in with your thumb
or the kind you pound in with a hammer?"
