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?”

An old French lady had a small shop in her village for years, until one day a huge corporate supermarket set up across the road from her little shop.
They put up signs advertising their prices, including one that said: “Butter – 10 Francs”
In response, the lady added a sign to her own window: “Butter – 9 Francs”
The next day, the big supermarket had a new sign: “Butter – 8 Francs”
Sure enough, the day after the lady’s sign now read: “7 Franc.”
This went on for a while, until eventually one of the lady’s customers pointed to the sign and said, “Madame, you cannot keep your prices so low for long. These big companies can use their buying power to sell products cheaper, but a little store like yours can never compete.”
In response, the old lady bent forward conspiratorially and muttered, “Monsieur, I don’t even sell butter.”

The cashier:
– Are you stupid? This isn’t real money!
Peter:
– You’re stupid. The car is not real either.
