A picky customer comes to a small food shop

A picky customer comes to a small food shop and sees a new delivery of fresh fruit.

“Give me three dozens of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece of paper, please,” he says to the saleswoman.

She does.

“And three dozens of cherries, please, and wrap up every one in a separate piece of paper, too.” She does.

“And what is that there,” he asks pointing out a bushel in the corner.

“Grapes,” says the saleswoman, “but they are not for sale!”

=================================================

As a restaurant owner, I hired a pianist and a harpist to entertain my customers.

After several performances, I discovered that the pianist had walked away with some of my valuables. I notified the police, who arrested her.

Desperate for another pianist, I called a friend who knew some musicians.

“What happened to the pianist you had?” he asked me.

“I had her arrested,” I replied. We said goodbye and hung up.

A few minutes later, my friend called back and asked, “How badly did she play?”
