A Texas Aggie and a Jew had general hardware stores across the street from each other. The Texas Aggie would see customers walk in and out piled under with sales all day long from the Jew's store while he garnered only small sales. One day, in frustration, he pulled the shutters and displayed the "CLOSED" sign and made a visit to his neighbor. The Aggie asked the Jew, "Please tell me how you do it? Let me know how you get so many sales. We have almost identical stores, prices and inventory." The Jew sighed and exclaimed he probably hadn't oughtta do it, but he could observe the next sale. The Aggie watched with intensity.

A woman entered the store and asked for a bag of grass seed. The Jew said "One bag of grass seed coming up. And would you like a garden hose with that to water the new grass seed?" She replied in the affirmative. "Also, would you like a new lawnmower with that to mow your tall grass?" She also needed a new lawnmower.

The Aggie was so excited. He thanked the Jew and reopened his store.

A woman walks in and asks for a box of tampons. The Aggie gleefully gets her the box and asks, "Would you also like a lawnmower to go with that?" She asks, "Why would I want a lawnmower?" The Aggie replies, "You ain't getting any fuskin' done today. You may as well mow the lawn."
