A Cheesy Bit Of Wordplay

One of my coworkers is from England but has lived in the USA for about a year since marrying an American. She is working the cheese counter when a customer comes over.

Customer: “How much is a pound of cheddar?”

English Coworker: “Depends how much it weighs.”

The customer looks confused, and I just laugh.

English Coworker: “Wait… no. Shush! I’m from England! That would make sense in England!”

Me: “Wait… that makes it even worse!”
