Getting Even : That'll Be Fine That'll Be Fine A grocery store
clerk asked a lady the who was coming through his check-out,
"Ma'am, would you like your milk in a bag or not?" "That'll be
fine," was her reply. The clerk looked quizzically at her, and
asked, "Does that mean 'yes' or "I said that that'll be fine,"
was her answer. Since the clerk was holding the milk up in his
hand, out of a bag, he decided to assume that "that" in this
case meant "that jug of milk without a bag". He set the jug in
her cart without putting it in a bag. "I said I wanted it in a
bag!" she complained. "You want me to shout it or write it down
for you? "That'll be fine!" he replied.
