  "At $4. 99 a pound that will be $ 49. 50,please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?"

"Oh,I don't want to buy the meat," Mrs. Parker said.

  "If you don't want to buy it," the butcher replied angrily, "why did you ask me to get it for you?"

  "My doctor told me that I am overweight and I have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like."
