Why you don't send your wife to the hardware store

Bubba was fixin' a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he sent his wife Mary Louise to the hardware store. At the hardware store, Mary Louise saw a beautiful teapot on a top shelf while she was waiting for Joe Bob, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer.

When Joe Bob finished, Mary Louise asked how much for the teapot.

Joe Bob replied, "That's silver and it's $100!"

"My goodness! That sure is a lotta money!" Mary Louise exclaimed. Then she proceeded to describe the hinge Bubba had sent her to buy, and Joe Bob went to the back room to find it.

From the backroom, Joe Bob yelled, "Mary Louise, you want a screw for that hinge?"

To which Mary Louise replied, "No! But I will for the teapot!"
