Taking home the bacon

My dad's got the habit of picking up a 5lb bag of bacon from the butcher's every Friday, whether they need it or not. Because it's a bargain. Weekends are spent farming rashers out to the rest of the family. He called on my brother...


"Do you want any bacon?"

"Yes please."

"How much do you want?"

"How many can I have?"

"How many do you want?"

"Can I have twenty-seven?"

"Can I talk to somebody sensible?"

The brother turned and shouted to the small girl niece.

"Come out here, your grand-dad wants to talk to you."

I don't think 27 is metric, he'd have been ok if he'd asked for a metre

I know someone who can't resist three for two, and it's usually stuff best avoided so to save money one is eating 1/3 more of an unhealthy food. Drives me dotty!
