The  butcher story
A butcher, who had had a particularly good day, proudly flipped his last chicken on a scale and weighed it. “That will be £6.35,” he told the customer.
“That’s a good price, but it really is a little too small,” said the woman. “Don’t you have anything larger?”
Hesitating, but thinking fast, the clerk returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused a moment, then took it out again.
“This one,” he said faintly, ” will be £6.65.”
The woman paused for a moment, then made her decision…
“I know what,” she said, “I’ll take both of them!”
