When prices look too good to be true


Paddy and Mick were walking along a street in Romford, a town just outside London .

Paddy looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught his eyes. The sign reads,

"Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair."

Paddy said to his pal, "Mick, look at the prices! We could buy a whole lot of dose and when we get back to Ireland we could make a fortune.

Now when we go in you stay quiet,okay? Let me do all da talking ‘cause if they hear our accents, they might think we’re thickos from Ireland and try to screw us. I'll put on my best English accent.”

“Roight y'are Paddy, I'll keep me mouth shut, so I will. You do all da business” said Mick.

They go in and Paddy said in a posh voice,"Hello my good man. I'll take 50 suits at £5.00 each,100 shirts at £2..00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at £2.50 each. I'll back up me truck ready to load ‘em on, so I will."

The owner of the shop said quietly, "You're from Ireland , aren't you?"

"Well yes," said a surprised Paddy. "What gave it away?"


The owner replied, "This is a dry-cleaner !!!"
