A man checks out an antique store and is not impressed by its wares. However, he notices the shopowner's cat drinking out of what he knows to be a priceless dish!
Knowing that the owner doesn't realize what he's got right under his (or rather, his cat's) nose, he tries a little ruse: He asks to buy the cat for $5.
The owner agrees, and the man buys the cat. However, just before he leaves, he offhandedly says "By the way, do you mind if I take that dish as well? He seems to like it."
The owner scoffs. "Are you kidding? Thanks to that dish I've sold 75 cats in a month!"
