One morning Eddie Hale was standing at the window of the car dealership where he worked watching the rain come down. Eddie had worked here for many years as a salesman and was proud of his sales record and of his extensive knowledge of the dealership's line of cars. The rain fell steadily and Eddie noticed a little old lady struggling up the sidewalk toward the building with an armful of groceries.

The little old lady came in and set her bags down on the desk and commenced to wipe the rain from her face. Eddie said, "Sure is a bad day to be out walking."

To which the lady replied, "Yep, and I have had enough, I'm here to buy a car, I have walked my last mile in the rain."

The salesman said, "You've come to the right place. I am sure we can put you in a car, what did you have in mind?"

The soggy woman said, "I want one like my poor departed husband and I had when we were first married. I'm not sure what kind it was but he bought it here and the name of the car always reminded me of someone that was mad, I mean powerful mad."

Eddie replied, "Oh, you must mean a Fury, a Plymouth Fury."

The woman said, "Yeah, that's the car, I loved that car, I want one just like the one we used to own."

The salesman said, "You're in luck, we have three on our lot right now, a brown one, a pretty red and a nice green car."

The woman said, "No, no, no. I want one the color that my husband had, see he was driving that car when we were courting and it is so special to me, it was the exact color of this . . ." and she started rummaging around in one of her grocery bags. Finally, she pulled out an ear of corn, she held it up and said, "It was the same color as this corn, a pretty yellow car."

Eddie looked at the corn and thought to himself, what an ugly color, and then told the lady they didn't have one like that on the lot, and he was certain that wasn't a color that was available from the manufacturer.

The lady replied, "Well, this is what I want, a yellow car, a corn yellow car."

Hale, who had worked there for years answered, "I'm not so sure that was a color that that we sold, even years ago."

The woman insisted, "No, it was yellow, corn yellow I'm certain of it."

Eddie replied, "Maybe he had the car repainted after he bought it"

The woman who by now was becoming quite excited said to the salesman, "Listen here, buddy, I know what he had and it was a corn yellow car."

The salesman started to protest once again and the lady cut him off and shouted at him, "Are you calling me a liar?"

Eddie, trying to diffuse the situation said, "No I'm just." But before he could finish the sentence the woman reached in her bag and pulled out a can of Vienna Sausage and threw it at Eddie hitting him square between the eyes.

Eddie was stunned, and as the woman reached in her bag for another can Eddie panicked and broke for the door. As he reached the door the lady slung another can in his direction.

As the woman chased Mr. Hale down the street the manager of the dealership came out of his office and said, "What is all the commotion out here?"

One of the other salesmen, who had witnessed the entire affair, watched the woman chasing the hapless salesman down the sidewalk thought for a moment and then replied, . . .
