Someone’s Been Sliced Down To Size
Customer: “Can I have this loaf of bread sliced?”
Me: “Absolutely. Would you like that sliced thin or regular?”
Customer: “Well, I don’t know what you call it, but I want it sliced like this…”
(He pulls slice of bread from his pocket and hands it to me.)
Customer: “You can keep that. The wife and I couldn’t agree on how thick it was, so I thought it would be best to bring in a piece from the last loaf and let an expert look at it. ”
(At this point I’m a little dumbfounded, and trying hard to keep a straight face.)
Customer: “Yeah, the wife’s idea of four inches and my idea of four inches aren’t exactly the same thing, if you know what I mean.”
(I slice the loaf of bread for the man and hand it to him.)
Me: *laughing* “Here’s your bread, sir. Have a nice day.”
