Joke of the week

A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick
up a few things when he noticed an old lady following
him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and
continued on.

Finally he went to the check-out line, but she got in
front of him. "Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my
staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's
just that you look just like my son, who I haven't seen
in a long time."

"That's a shame," replied the young man, "is there
anything I can do for you?"

"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye,
Mother!'? It would make me feel so much better."

"Sure," answered the young man. So, when the old woman
was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!"

As he stepped up to the check-out counter, he saw that
his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I
only purchased a few things!"

The clerk replied "Your mother said that you would pay
for her."
