Cost of Eggplants

"Cost of Eggplants"

A grocer put up a sign that read: "Eggplants, 25¢ ea. or
three for a dollar."

All day long, customers came in exclaiming, "Don't be
ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"

Meekly the grocer capitulated and packaged four
eggplants. The tailor next door had been watching
these antics and finally asked the grocer, "Aren't you
going to fix the mistake on your sign?"

"What mistake?" the grocer asked. "Before I put up
that sign no one ever bought more than one eggplant."

"Supermarket Troubles"

The supermarket had a sale on boneless chicken
breasts and I intended to stock up. At the store,
however, I was disappointed to find only a few
skimpy pre-packaged portions of the poultry, so
I complained to the butcher.

"Don't worry," she said, "I'll pack some more trays
and have them ready for you by the time you finish
shopping."

Several aisles later, I heard the lady butcher's
voice boom over the public-address system: "Will
the gentleman who was looking for bigger breasts
please meet me at the back of the store."
