And both of them start looking for.... One - where to find a train full of sweets, the second one - where to find money  |
Variation on this is the old Soviet guy going to the butcher shop to by sausage. He asks how much and the butcher says "five rubles per kilo". The buyer gasps and says "the butcher across the street has sausage for three rubles per kilo". Butcher "well, go across the street and get your sausage there"
Buyer "but he is out of sausage"
Butcher "next time I'm out of sausage the price will be three rubles".
A bit outdated, but if Iliads were sausage...
