One Friday afternoon

A (pointing at tray of barbecued meats) : "Can I have a piece of ribs and a couple of chicken pieces, please?"
B: "Sure."

A and C looking at all kind of yummy stuff behind the glass case, and disscussing what else to buy, while B putting cooked meats in foil-lined bags.

A: "And, 6 pork-and-leek sausages, as well."
B: "Garlic ones?"
A: "No, no, pork-and-leek."
B: "You want 6?"
A: "Yeah."

C giggling. After getting a couple more different things, A paid (Hooray! 7p discount!) and got out of the shop with C.

A (standing on a footpath at a pedestrian crossing): "This bag is rather heavy... My goodness, he gave me a cooked whole chicken instead of 2 chicken wings!" (Looking at the receipt,) "And he charged me the right price for the whole chicken..."

C giggling louder.

A: "I pronounced everything clearly, and pointed at the chicken pieces, didn't I?
C (still giggling); "Aye, your English was very clear and perfect, and you definitely pointed at the chicken pieces, not the whole ones. What was wrong with him?"

A: "Remember? He once gave me 12 sausages instead of 6!"
C (nodding and still giggling): "Oh, aye, he did..."

2 voices of giggling mixed with words such as "eejit" walking towards a sport shop.
Inside the sport shop, A couldn't help smiling whenever a gush of roast chicken smell coming out of the bag.

C was happy to eat slices of roasted chicken for tea. Now A is not planning to tell B that B sold what A didn't want. (Yummy, though.) Instead, A is wondering what she should say to B for a next dose of good laugh.
