A woman was waiting in the check-out line at a shopping
center.
Her arms were laden with a mop and broom and other
cleaning supplies.
By her actions and deep sighs, it was obvious she was in
a hurry and not happy about the slowness of the line.

When the cashier called for a price check on a box of
soap, the
woman remarked indignantly : " Well, I'll be lucky to get
out of here and home before Christmas ! "

" Don't worry, ma'am, " replied the clerk.

" With that wind kicking up out there and that brand new
broom you have there, you'll be home in no time. "
