A Couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the  
Beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at  
The beach almost every day. She wasn't unusual, nor  
Was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing;  
She would approach people who were sitting on the  
Beach, glance around furtively,then speak to them.  
Generally, the people would respond negatively and she  
Would wander off. But occasionally someone would nod  
And there would be a quick exchange of money and  
Something she carried in her bag.  
The couple assumed that she was selling drugs and  
Debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know  
For sure, they just continued to watch her.  
After a couple of weeks the wife said, 'Honey, have  
You ever noticed that she only goes up to people with  
Boom boxes and other electronic devices?'  
He hadn't -- and said so.  
Then she said, 'Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and  
Our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can  
Find out what she's really doing.'  
Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife  
Was almost hopping up & down with anticipation when  
She saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave.  
The man then walked up the beach and met his wife at  
The road.  
'Well, Is she selling drugs?' she asked excitedly.  
'No, she's not,' he said, enjoying this probably more  
Than he should have.  
'Well, what is it then? What does she do ?' his wife  
Fairly shrieked.  
The man grinned and said, 'She's a battery  
Salesperson.'   
'Batteries?' cried the wife. 
'Yes ....' he replied - 
'She sells C cells by the seashore'
