An old lady was doing her shopping at the local department store. She picked up all her purchases and pushed her cart to the counter. As the checkout¹ operator was scanning her items he realised that the very last item did not have a price tag or barcode. The checkout operator had to do a price check over the loud speaker so he pressed the button and stated the following message: "Price check on Tampax Tampons Mega-Size!" The woman was obviously embarrased as near-by shoppers turned and looked towards her. Meanwhile, the shop attendant at the rear of the store who heard the call misheard the word 'Tampax' for 'Thumb Tacks²'. The attendant then replied back over the speaker, in a very business like tone,he announced the following message: "Do you mean the ones you can push in with your thumb, or the ones you have to pound with a hammer?" The poor woman buried her head in her hands and ran out of the store!
