rope jumper

Stamped: 10:07 AM


At Meijers with my friend Jason, trying to find jumper cables to jump his dead car battery.

me: (at the car supply aisle, to jason) go look in the next aisle

jason: I don't see it, let me ask someone

me: (walking over to see Jason talking to a fobby chinese clerk)

clerk: go down 3 aisles on the left

me: (walking - noticing that we're now at the sports equipment aisle) are you sure you said jumper cables?

jason: yea, on the left

me: these are jump ropes, not jumper cables! I guess he didn't understand your English
