A couple lived near the ocean and used to
walk the beach a lot. One summer they
noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty
much every day.

She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag
she carried, except for one thing. She would
approach people who were sitting on the beach,
glance around, then speak to them.

Generally, the people would respond negatively
and she would wander off, but occasionally
someone would nod and there would be a quick
exchange of money for something she carried
in her bag. The couple assumed she was selling
drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they
didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.

After a couple of weeks the wife asked, "Honey,
have you ever noticed that she only goes up to
people with boom boxes and other electronic
devices?"

He hadn't and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow
I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go
lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what
she's really doing."

Well, the plan went off without a hitch, and the
wife was almost hopping up and down with anticip-
ation when she saw the girl talk to her husband
and then leave. The man walked up the beach and
met his wife at the road. "Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly."

No, she's not." he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.

"Well, what is it, then?" his wife fairly shrieked.

The man grinned and said. "Her name is Sally and
she's a battery salesperson."

"Batteries?" cried the wife ............................

"Yes," he replied. "Sally sells C cells by the Seashore."
