A meat counter clerk, 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 really is a little too small, said the woman. Dont you have anything larger?



Hesitating, but thinking fast, the clerk returned the chicken to the refrigerator, paused a moment, then took the same one 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, Ill take both of them!
