A huge, muscular man with a bad stutter walks up to the counter of a department store.
Man:

The clerk just stares at him and says nothing.
The man tries again.
Man:
“W-w-w-where’s the m-m-m-men’s dep-p-p-partment?”
Again, the clerk stays silent.
The man asks several more times, but the clerk refuses to answer.

A customer who had been waiting nearby turns to the clerk.
Customer:
“Why didn’t you answer that man’s question?”
The clerk nervously replies:
Clerk:
“D-d-d-do you th-th-think I w-w-w-want to g-g-g-get b-b-b-beat up?!”
