How Much?

During a downpour an older Rabbi ducked into the local delicatessen one day.

Looking at the meat display he asked, “How much is the turkey?”

“$4.50 a pound,” stated the butcher.

“Oy.” said the Rabbi. “How much for the corned beef?”

“$6.25 a pound,” stated the butcher.

“Oy,” said the Rabbi, “and for the ham?”

Just then a loud clap of thunder shook the window. Looking up the Rabbi quickly said, “I was just asking.”
