Have you ever thought of calling and asking for Hugh Jass, or Amanda Hugankiss?

Bassist --> I suppose.
Here's one I heard on the radio. A baker routinely bought his butter from a local farmer; a pound a week. After a while, though, he realized that the amount of butter he was getting was less than a pound, and he concluded that had been how it was every week after the first. "I'm being swindled!" he cried. "All this time I've been paying him for a full pound and not getting it!" Infuriated, he took his supplier to court and placed his case before the judge, who began to cross-examine the farmer. The first question was, "Do you have weights with which you portion out the butter you bring to the baker?" "Not exactly, your honor," the farmer replied. "You see, when I sold him the first pound of butter, I bought one of his one-pound loaves..."
I'll let you do the math on that one.
