A summer holiday weekend

It’s a summer holiday weekend and a man walks into a butcher shop that has a sign in the window saying “Ground Sirloin: 29 cents per pound.”

The man says, “I’m having a cookout this weekend. I’d like 5 pounds of your ground sirloin, please.”

The butcher shakes his head and says, “Sorry. I’m all out.”

The man, disappointed goes down the street to another butcher shop and asks, “How much is your ground sirloin?”

The proprietor replies, “It’s $3.29 per pound.”

“Three twenty nine!?!” exclaimed the customer. “Just up the street he sells it for 29 cents!”
