When the store manager returned from lunch，he noticed his clerk’s hand was bandaged，but before he could ask about the bandage，the clerk said he had some very good news for him。
“Guess what，sir？”the clerk said。“I finally sold that terrible，ugly suit we have had so long！”
“Do you mean that repulsive pinkandblue doublebreasted thing？”the manager asked。
“That is the one！”
“That is great！”the manager cried，“I thought we would never get rid of that monstrosity！That had to be the ugliest suit we have ever had！But why your hand is bandaged？”
“Oh”the clerk replied，“after I sold the guy that suit，his guide dog bit me。”
