Is This Funny?

I saw something last week that cracked me up, but in retrospect I don't know if it's funny or not. I was walking out of Walgreens and saw their marquee by the road, and it said "We rent breast pumps." Isn't that something you may want to buy? I typically rent things that I am only going to use once. A Ditch Witch for when I put in my sprinkler system. An impact hammer for mounting the joist brackets on my deck pilings. But a breast pump, I think, is something that you're probably going to use more than once. How does one decide to rent it vs. buy it?

Store Clerk: "What can I help you with sir?"

Billy-Bob: "I need to rent me one of them breast pumps."

Store Clerk: "How long will you need it?"

Billy-Bob: "Just the weekend. We're gonna tap 'er and bottle up as much as we can this weekend and see where that takes us."
