Had to Share This With You

Just got off the phone with my Mom. She said that she called JoAnn's Fabrics and asked if they had "size 3, 16 inch circular needles." The man on the phone checked and came back and said "We only have size 3, 14 inch circular needles." Mom thought that was a bit odd, but said okay, thank you. Later that morning she went to JoAnn's, straight back to the knitting needle section. She stood and looked at every single package of knitting needles. She could not find either size 3, 14 inch circular nor could she find size 3, 16 inch circular. She asked the man that had spoken to her on the phone for help. He walked back to the knitting needles. Mom said "I've already looked at every single pair of needles, and they aren't there." After a few moments the man pulled a pair off the wall and turned to Mom with a triumphant smile and said "Here you go!" They were size 3mm, 14 inch straights. Ignoring the fact that she wanted size US3 she stated the obvious "Those are not circular." To which the man replied "Oh yes, they are - the needles are round!"

I wonder if this man was blonde...
