The Flower Shop

A woman worked in a flower shop, but really needed a break. The owners of the store said she was more than welcome to take one, but she would need to find someone to replace her.

She searched for a few hours, but she only found one applicant who was interested. He came into the shop in pinstriped pajamas, and a banana-shaped hat. Still, despite his appearance, she really just wanted a break and thought she would give him a chance.

"What do I have to do?" He asked.

"Very simple," the woman told him. "If someone asks how much the flowers are, you say '10 cents, only 10 cents.' If they ask if they're fresh, you say 'fresh, fresh, very fresh.' And, if they ask if they should buy them, you say 'quick, quick, before somebody else does.'"

The guy agrees, and very soon after a customer comes in. They go up to the counter and ask "how much are these flowers?"

He says "Ten cents, only ten cents."

A few minutes later, another customer comes in. This customer asks "hey, are these flowers fresh?"

And the man says "fresh, fresh, very fresh"

Soon after that, yet another customer comes in. The customer asks "do you think I should buy these flowers?"

And the man says "quick, quick, before somebody else does!"

This goes on for most of the day, until suddenly a robber comes in. The robber sticks a gun up to the guys head, and demands "how much is in this cash register?!?"

The man says "Ten cents, only ten cents."

The robber glares at him, and asks "are you being fresh with me kid!!?"

The man says "fresh, fresh, very fresh."

The robber, angry now, yells "would you like me to shoot you!?"

The man says "quick, quick, before somebody else does."
