Can’t Weed Out The Weeds

My mom worked at a department store back in the day. She was working in customer service when some old lady brought in her new weed eater, trying to return it.

Customer: *Complaining* “This weed eater ate my flowers, too!”

Mom: *Confused* “How are you using it, ma’am?”

Customer: “I was trying to get the weeds out of my flower bed, and so I used the weed eater, but it ate everything! It didn’t just eat the weeds!”

Mom: “Well, it would do that if you aimed it at the flowers.”

Customer: “Do you have one that will go around the flowers?”
