A Couple Of Problems With That

(Working in the deli we have customers who just want a certain amount of slices which is usually no problem. This was one of those other times.)

Customer: “I want a couple of slices of ham.”

Me: “Okay, two slices of ham.”

Customer: “No, a couple of slices.”

Me: “So two.”

Customer: “No! I said a couple of slices!”

Me: “How many do you want?”

Customer: “Three.”
