A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful blond woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, “Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?”
She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs,
“NO! I won’t sleep with you tonight!”
Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.
After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I’m a graduate student in psychology, and I’m studying how people respond to embarrassing situations.
“To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, “What do you mean $200?”
I like that. Many years ago, a coworker and I went to lunch at a Sacramento hotel dining room. My husband occasionally ate there also on his lunch hour and one day he was sitting at the counter eating when we walked in and my friend leaned down and whispered in his ear and my husband yelled, “FIFTY DOLLARS!” She was mortified but everyone else got a laugh.
