A guy goes into a store and tells the clerk, “I’d like some Norwegian sausage.

The clerk looks at him and says, “Are you Norwegian?”

The guy, clearly offended, says, “Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian? Or, if I had asked for German sausage, would you ask me if I was German? Or, if I had asked for a taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Huh? Would ya?”

The clerk says “Well, no.”

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy responds, “Well, all right then, why the HELL did you ask me if I’m Norwegian just because I ask for Norwegian sausage?”

“Because this is a hardware store.”
