Dig Deeper At Your Own Risk
(A customer and her young son are buying a bag of birdseed when she notices a picture of my horse on the board behind me.)
Customer: “Oh, what a beautiful horse! Is he a black stallion?”
Me: “Actually, ma’am, he’s a gelding.”
Customer: “Oh… what’s the difference?”
Me: “A gelding is a male horse who’s been castrated.”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “Uh… a male horse who’s been neutered.”
Customer: “I don’t understand.”
Me: “A male horse who’s had his testicles surgically removed.”
Customer: “I still don’t…”
Me: “A horse with no balls, ma’am.”
Customer: *covering her son’s ears* “My goodness! My son’s only five, you know! He doesn’t need to hear that language!”
Me: “…have a nice day, ma’am.”
