When The Wife Has Some Depth Charges
A couple is looking at our watches.
Customer: “It says that this watch is waterproof up to a hundred meters.”
Me: “That’s right.”
Customer: “Is that depth or distance?”
Me: “Uh… that’s depth, sir. If you’re swimming on the surface, your watch won’t know how far you’ve swum.”
Customer: “Don’t make me sound like an idiot! I had to make sure.”
Me: “I understand, sir.”
Customer: “How many people swim a hundred meters deep?! That’s like three hundred feet! No one does that, so it’s not a stupid question! There’s zero chance of me swimming a hundred meters of depth!”
Customer’s Wife: “Yeah, but there’s zero chance of you swimming a hundred meters of distance, either, so leave the poor man alone and just buy your stupid watch.”
