"Rare Pottery" joke
An art connoisseur was walking by a butcher shop when he noticed a mangy little kitten lapping up milk from a saucer. The saucer, he realized with a start, was a rare and precious piece of pottery.
He immediately entered the shop and offered the owner two dollars for the kitten. "Sorry, but it's not for sale," said the proprietor.
"Look," said the collector, "that kitten is dirty and undesirable, but I'm eccentric. I like kittens that way. I'll raise my offer to ten dollars."
"You've got a deal," said the proprietor, and pocketed the ten on the spot.
"For that sum, I'm sure you won't mind throwing in the saucer," said the connoisseur. "The kitten seems so happy drinking from it."
"Not a chance!" said the proprietor firmly. "That happens to be my lucky saucer. From that saucer, so far this week, I've sold 27 kittens!"
