What did she want?

A store manager overheard a clerk telling a customer, "No, ma'am, we haven't had any for a while, and it doesn't look as if we'll be getting any soon."

Horrified, the manager rushed over to the customer and said, "Of course, we'll have some soon. We placed an order last week."

Then, the manager drew the clerk aside and whispered, "Never, never, never say we are out of anything. Always say we've got it on order and it's coming. Now, what was it she wanted?"

"Rain," said the clerk.
