When my teenage son worked part time in a hardware store, a man came in to buy hooks for hanging plants. But there were only two hooks left in the gold colour that he needed.

My son, trying to be helpful, suggested, "Could you maybe use the silver or the white instead?"

The customer scrutinized him and said, "You're not married, are you?"
