"Economies of scale" joke
It’s a summer holiday weekend and a man is shopping for the cookout he’s having. He notices a sign in a butcher shop window advertising ‘Ground Sirloin: 39 cents per pound’. Entering the shop, he tells the butcher he would like five pounds of the ground sirloin. “Sorry, sir, ” replies the butcher. “I’m all out. ” Disappointed, the man goes down the street to another butcher shop and asks, “How much is your ground sirloin? ” “It’s $3. 59 per pound, ” replies the butcher. “What! ” exclaims the man. “The butcher up the street is selling it for 39 cents per pound! ” Smiling calmly, the butcher asks, “Does he have any? ” “Not right now, no. He told me he’s out of it, ” replies the man. Grinning, the butcher says, “Well sir, when I don’t have any, I can sell it for 29 cents per pound! ”
