Old Ladies

Three old ladies were sitting side by side in their retirement
home reminiscing.
The first lady recalled shopping at the green grocers and
demonstrated with her hands, the length and thickness of a cucumber she
could buy for a penny.
The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much
bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she
could buy for a penny a piece. The third old lady remarked, "I can't
hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about."
