The General Store

Harold ws doing his usual weekly shopping when he noticed a new store had opened.
Pinned in the window was a big sign, advertising "We sell everything".
Now Harold could not believe this was possible, so in he went to check it out.
He wandered around the store and found he was able to find everything that was on his list.
He found a young assistant stocking shelveas and asked him. "Is it true? Do you really have everything in this store.
The lad nodded, "I believe that to be true. The owner has many contacts and suppliers. "
Still thinking it impossible, Harold bought his groceries, and asked for the most improbable item he could think of "OK then could I have a jumper for a chicken?".
The lad just nodded "A jumper for a chicken?,Hmmm. I think so. Stay thereand I will check the stock out the back".
Harold waited patiently and about five minutes later, the boy returned with a brown paper bag. "Here you go, One jumper for a chicken"
"How much?" asked Harold.
"Five bucks." replied the lad.
"Five bucks for a jumper for a chicken - excellent." said Harold.
He handed over the cash and left with the bag.
But before he got to his truck he had second thoughts. It was not possible. No way would any store have a jumper for a chicken. There was no such item so he looked in the bag. Lying at the bottom was a condom.
That made him MAD. He stormed back into the shop and shouted at the young saleperson "Hey, I asked you for a jumper for a chicken and you have given me a condom - whats going on?"
The salesperson replied, "Sorry mate, I checked in the back and we seem to be all out of jumpers for chickens, So I figured you could just use a pullover for a cock."
