A young man shopping

[bosco]

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him.

 

She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."

 

He answered, "That's okay."

 

"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom' as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

 

She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

 

The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.

 

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.

 

"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.

 

"How come so much? I only bought 5 items."

 

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said

You'd be paying for her things, too."

there is more to the joke. You are meant to tell it in the first person. After the clerk says the cost, you say to the clerk hold on and go running out after the old lady. You get to her car, and she is about to sit down in the seat. You confront her about the cost. She starts to kick at you, and you start to pull on her leg. Just like you are pulling on your friends leg that you are telling the story too. It's pretty funny.
