Out of Towner's
Pat and Mike were walking along a street in London. Pat looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught his eye.
The sign read: "Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £3.00 each, Trousers £4.50 per pair".
Pat said to his pal, "Mike look at these prices! We could buy a whole lot of those and when we get back home we could make a fortune.
Now when we go in you stay quiet, okay? Let me do all the talking 'cause if they hear our accents, they might think we're thicko's from the country and try to screw us. I'll put on me best English accent."
"Right you are Pat, I'll keep me mouth shut, so you do all the business" said Mike.
They go in and Pat said in a posh voice "Hello my good man. I'll take 50 suits at £5.00 each, 100 shirts at £3.00 each and 50 pairs of trousers at £4.50 each. And I’ll back up the truck ready to load them on."
The owner of the shop said quietly "You're from the country aren't you?"
"Well yes," said a surprised Pat. "What gave it away?"
The owner replied, "This is a dry-cleaners."
