Gina: I’d like a half a pound of ground beef, please.
Butcher: Good choice! Our ground beef is extra lean, if you know what I mean.
Gina: Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts?
Butcher: No, no no no chicken breasts at the moment, but we have some nice chicken thighs.
Gina: No, that won’t do. I’ll take this smoked ham you have here.
Butcher: Okay, is there anything else?
Gina :Do you have any other cold cuts? Is this salami and bologna you have here?
Butcher: Yes! It’s very fine meat! Made it myself...
Gina: Sounds good. Okay, that’s it.
Butcher: Wait! We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. They are very fresh! Just came from the slaughter house...
Gina :Mmm... No that’s okay, really. I think that’s all for today.
Butcher: Okay. That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents.
