A list of puns related to "The Proprietor"
"Once upon a time there was this lobster..."
...I went up to a newsstand that wasn't doing much business and asked the proprietor for a copy of Le Monde. I knew it would mean the world to him.
And asks the proprietor if she could recommend a bird cage. The shopkeeper replies that she has both plastic and metal varieties.
“Well what kind of metal is used in the metal one?” he asks?
“I’m not sure. Aluminum, I think,” she responds.
“Do you happen to know if it contains any nickel?”
“No, I don’t believe it does,” she answers, looking puzzled.
“Ah,” says the man. “So what you’re saying is that it’s a nickel-less cage.”
A customer at the local grocery store marveled at the proprietor’s quick wit and intelligence.
“Tell me, what makes you so smart?” he asked the owner.
“I wouldn’t share my secret with just anyone,” came the reply. Then, lowering his voice so the other shoppers wouldn’t hear, he continued. “But since you’re a good and faithful customer, I’ll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you’ll be positively brilliant.”
“You sell them here?” the customer asked.
“Only $4 apiece,” said the grocer.
The customer quickly bought three. A week later, he was back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he wasn’t any smarter.
“You didn’t eat enough,” replied the store owner, and the customer went home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he was back and this time he was really angry.
“Hey,” he said, “You’re selling me fish heads for $4 apiece when I just found out I can buy the whole fish for $2.You’re ripping me off!”
“You see?” replied the grocer.“You’re smarter already.”

We were walking around some vendors with friends at a fair, when they started looking at tutus for their 3 year old daughter. My husband walks right into the shop and asks the proprietor (in a rather loud voice), "I see you have tutus, do you have any oneones or threethrees in stock?" and then stood there proudly.
Many groans were had. (Except by one of the girls, who went into the back to check. I think she was just special.)
