One day, an elderly woman was walking along the street, coming home from the
supermarket. Her bag of groceries was especially heavy, and as she passed
Nathan Hale’s Used Cars, she got the idea that she should buy a car.

So she walked into the car dealership and, as it just so happens, gets the
owner himself. He asks her what kind of car she wants and she replies,

“Well, sonny, I can’t remember the name exactly, but it has something to do
with hate or anger.”

The owner replies, “Well, let’s see… Oh yes, you want a Plymouth Fury! We
have a couple on the lot. What color do you prefer?”

The lady has some trouble explaining the exact color to him, so she reached
into her shopping bag, takes out an ear of corn, strips down the shucks and
says, “I want this color, sonny.”

To which Nathan replies, “Ma’am I’m sorry, but we don’t have any in this
color. Could I show you a nice blue one?”

“No son, I want this color.”

“But ma’am, they didn’t make that color! Maybe a cherry red one would suit
you?” says the owner, obviously worried about losing a sale.

By this time, the old lady was getting mad, and started chasing the owner
out of the office and into the lot. One of the salesmen, coming into the
office from the back door, noticed the disruption and asked the secretary
what the old woman was so upset about.

The secretary replied, “Apparently, Hale hath no Fury like the woman’s
corn!”
