Taxi Meter

"Shopping"

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 wanted bigger breasts
please meet me at the back of the store."

"Taxi Meter"

A Japanese tourist hailed a taxi in downtown Chicago
and asked to be taken to the O'Hare Airport.

On the way, a car zoomed by and the tourist responded,
"Ohhh! TOYOTA!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"

Not too long afterward, another car flew by the taxi.

"Ohh! NISSAN!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"

Yet another car zipped by, and the tourist said, "Ohh!
Mitsubishi!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"

The taxi driver, who was 100% American, was starting
to get a little miffed that the Japanese made cars
were passing his Ford, when yet another car passed
the taxi as they were turning into the airport.

"Ohh! Honda!! Made in Japan!! Very fast!"

The taxi driver stopped the car, pointed to the meter,
and said, "That'll be $150."

"$150? It was so short a ride! Why so much?"

"Taxi meter. Made in Japan. Very fast."
