There was an old (insert your favourite ethnic here) man who went down
to the local store to buy some catfood.

"Where's your cat?" Inquired the shopkeeper.
"He's at home" replied the man.
"Can't sell you no catfood then", replied the shopkeeper and went to attend
to another customer.

A week later the old (insert your favourite ethnic here) man returned once
more to the store to purchase some dog food.

"Where's your dog?" Inquired the shopkeeper.
"She's at home" replied the man.
"Can't sell you no dogfood then", replied the shopkeeper and went to attend
to another customer.
The old (insert...) man left the store muttering curses.

A week after this incident the old (insert..) man visits the store yet again.
This time though, he is carrying a paper bag.

"Put your hand in this bag" he tells the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper does so and exclaims "Its all mushy, what is it?"

"I would like to buy some toilet paper."
