A couple of years ago, I was shopping with my mother at the dollar store in the local mall. When we got to the cash counter with our purchases, we saw that security was there, having caught this kid, who couldn't have been more than fourteen, stealing a single chocolate bar.
They were questioning him about it and he kept making up/changing his stories about how it was his, he bought it from another store, etc.
"But I saw you put it in your pocket!" One of the clerks insisted.
Then suddenly, in the middle of the interrogation, the kid placed "his" chocolate bar on the counter and ran out of the store in long, exaggerated strides.
Then everyone - the customers, security and clerks - stood around and laughed in his wake.
"He couldn't afford a chocolate bar for a DOLLAR?" one of the security guards exclaimed.
One of the clerks responded, "Actually, they're TWO for a dollar."
We all laughed even harder.
