A customer has 19 fairly small items in a hand basket. At the checkout counter, the cashier starts ringing up the purchase:
CASHIER: "Would you like a bag for your items?"
CUSTOMER: "Uhhh, yes?"

Staples
A customer purchases several items at the Rockland Staples and apparently has a rebate offer. The machine prints out about a mile of receipts and cuts them into three different parts - the original receipt, the rebate receipt, and the instructions for how to apply for the rebate. The clerk compiles all the paper, reaches for a stapler to staple them all together, and squeezes . . .
. . . but the stapler is empty.
CLERK (looking at the mark on the papers where a staple should have been and then at the empty stapler): "Looks like I need staples."
CUSTOMER: unable to speak, simply thinks, "Yes. Yes, you do. In more ways than one."
Upon arriving home, the customer relays the story to the spouse.
SPOUSE: "You wait . . . we'll go next week and they'll be called "Paper Clips".
. . . but the stapler is empty.
