The Coloradan lady takes her family on a vacation to Utah. These two ladies run into each other while taking their children to the Zoo. As their children admire the peacocks, the Coloradan lady compliments the Utahan lady on her beautiful blouse. "God, that's a pretty blouse!"
She smiles excitedly and says, "Oh, thank-you! I had just been admiring yours! Where did you get it?"
"My husband bought it for me for 212 dollars."
The Utahan lady gasps and covers her mouth. The Coloradan lady mistakes this for being impressed.
"Oh my gosh! How expensive! He must make a lot of money!"
"No, not really. He is a construction worker."
"Then why would you get a blouse that's so expensive?!"
Confused, the Coloradan lady asks, "Uh, how much did you get yours for?"
"Four dollars at Kmart; it was a great deal!"
