“You are trying to find humor in this situation,” he said People magazine. “I took my wife shopping, I see it a little down, [so I said]”Come on, let’s go to the market center.” So, let’s go to Nordstromov and I said, “Do you see something you like?” ‘No, no.’ So we look at the shoes and [she said]’Oh, I like these sneakers. “”

The comedian continued to explain that his wife expressed interest in a couple of “of these light blue sneakers” as he encouraged her to buy another pair of shoes.
“I see she’s happy and I said, ‘This is great. “So I got two pairs of sneakers and [the cashier says] ‘That’s $ 24. And the second couple, that’s $ 847, “Leno said.
The cashier told Len that the dramatic difference was in the price between two pairs was due to other design sneakers. Initially, he thought the cost of shoes was a mistake when the cashier rang them in the register.

“It looked like the guy took a few of the same sneakers and used Bedazzler on them, and they were $ 800. I looked at my wife and said,” You like this? “I’m going:” Honey, you look great. “”
“It’s okay, I’m glad I can afford it and that made my wife happy. That just made me laugh. Only typical,” he added. “I thought a couple of $ 24 looks better than those, but that’s fine. Just laughed at me … I think when you are dealing with things like this, you find your moments where you can laugh and have fun … my wife really them liked and felt good about it. “
