An older lady became a widow and needed to go back to work to pay the bills. She got a job in a hardware store, even though she knew almost nothing about hardware.
one day a guy came in and asked to see some files. he looked them over and said "I'll take that flat bastard".
She became very indignant and explained that she was a church-going christian and didn't appreciate foul language.
he explained that "flat bastard" was actually a name of a type of file and wasn't it foul language. She apologized and sold him the file.
A few weeks go by and another guy asks about files.
She says "how about this flat bastard? He says "No, I think I'll take that little round son of a beotch"
