One salad: $3, three salads: $10!
At the marketplace, a seller advertises “1 salad for $3, 3 salads for $10”.
A customer passing by stops and speaks with the seller:
-That’s not right!
-What do you mean?
-Well, that’s not an offer: 3 salads cost $9.
-No, sir, it says here that 3 salads cost $10.<br>
-I know, but how much do I pay if I buy 1 salad?
-$3.
-And if I buy 2?
-$6.
-Yes, because 3+3=6, now what about 3+3+3?
-That makes 9.
-So 3 salads cost $9.
-No sir, they cost $10, written just over there, on that board.
The client can’t fathom such stubbornness in another human being and proceeds to prove his point to the seller:
-Here, let me buy a salad.
-That will be $3, sir.
-Now, I’d like one more salad.
-That will be $3 again, sir.
-Finally, let me buy one last salad.
-That will also be $3, sir.
-How much did I pay you those 3 salads?
-$3+$3+$3, your paid $9.
-See? 3 salads are worth $9, not $10, you won’t sell much salads of you do it this way.
-Yes sir, I almost sold all my stock to people like you wanting to prove they’re smarter than me by buying 3 salads they don’t need, to make sure they are superior. My technique works! Besides, I can overprice those salads to $3, and no one bats an eye!
=========================================
There was this zebra who had lived her entire life in a zoo and was getting on a bit, so the zoo keeper decided as a treat that she could spend her final years in bliss on a farm.
The zebra was so excited, she got out of the horse float to see this huge space with green grass and hill and trees and all these strange animals.
She saw a big fat weird looking brown thing and ran up to it all excited: “Hi I`m a zebra. What are you?”
“I`m a cow” said the cow.
“Right right what do you do?”
“I make milk for the farmer.”
“Cool!”
The zebra then saw this funny looking little white thing and ran over to it: “Hi I`m a zebra. What are you?”
“I`m a chicken” said the chicken.
“Oh right what do you do?”
“I make eggs for the farmer.”
“Right, great see you round.”
Then the zebra saw this very handsome beast that looked almost exactly like her without the stripes.
She ran over to it and said: “Hi I`m a zebra. What are you?”
“I am a horse” said the horse.
“Wow” said the zebra, “What do you do?”
“Take off your pajamas darling and I`ll show you.”
==============================================
A zebra has wondered his whole life whether he was a white zebra with black stripes or a black zebra with white stripes.
When he dies and goes to heaven he asks God the question “Am I a white zebra with black stripes or a black zebra with white stripes?”
God responds, “You are what you are”
The zebra goes to his friends and tells them what God had said and that he still doesn’t know the answer to his question.
One of his friends says, “Well, that means you are a white zebra with black stripes”
The zebra asks him why and the friend says, “Because otherwise God would have said ‘You is what you is'”
Two donkeys are standing at a roadside,
one asks the other: So, shall we cross?
The other shakes his head: “No way, look at what happened to the zebra.”
