Whatsofunny THE SEXY STORE CLERK KEEPS CALLING ME TO COME BACK AND BUY MORE BEDROOM FURNITURE, BUT ALL I REALLY WANTED WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND. What’s so funny about this? This joke might be puzzling to you at first, especially if you read it quickly or if you’re not listening closely. It seems like a fairly normal situation. It’s just someone who went shopping for a single piece of furniture. You also have the sales person who obviously wants to convince the customer to buy more furniture. You can’t blame them for that. The clerk probably gets paid by commission, that is, a percentage of the total sale. The more the customer buys, the more money the store clerk makes. But there are some hints in the joke that there might be more going on than simply buying furniture. The first hint is that we know that it’s not an ordinary salesperson but a SEXY store clerk. This means that he or she has an attractive physical appearance, at least in the eyes of the customer. Then there’s the fact that the purchase was for bedroom furniture. We all know that more happens in the bedroom than just sleeping. The final clue is that the customer emphasized the number of night stands. A night stand is a small piece of furniture, like a small table with a shelf, which usually sits next to one side of a bed. People keep books, a clock, a radio, some tissues maybe, on the table so that they can have these things close by when they are in bed. Usually there are two night stands, one on either side of the bed. It’s a matter of stress and phrasing. If you are ordering a single night stand, then you would say you wanted one night stand with a very slight pause between ONE and NIGHT, making sure to separate the words. But if you run the three words together as a phrase, it becomes a ONE-NIGHT-STAND; and this has an entire different meaning. It actually refers to two people getting together to have sex for one time only. Apparently the customer found the clerk to be sexy enough to get together once, but no more. The clerk wants some repeated business, which could either mean more furniture or more sex. Either way the clerk wants the customer to come back to the store. Makes you wonder where the one night stand took place. After all, there is no lack of beds in a furniture store, is there? And THAT’s what’s so funny!
