Asparagus
A man walked into a family owned store. He asked the clerk if the store carried any asparagus. The clerk replied no. The next day the same man walked in and asked the same clerk if the store carried any asparagus. The clerk again replied, no. The next day, once again, the man walked in and asked the same clerk if the store carried asparagus. The clerk replied, "If you ask that again I'll staple your lips together." Knowing the clerk was serious, the man left. The next day the man came in and asked a question. The clerk replied, no. The man, once again, asked, "Does this store carry asparagus?" What did the man ask (where the clerk responded no) that made him brave enough to ask about asparagus?
