A man approached a female clerk in the department store:

"Excuse me," he said, "but do you have notions?"

"I do," she replied, "but I try to suppress them until 5:00."

"Oh, no," stammered the embarrassed shopper. "You misunderstood. I need to know if you keep stationery."

"Just until the very end," she replied, "Then I just go wild."
