Bakery story.

At that party where my friend delivered a singing telegram, I was talking with this Palestinian - South African couple who ran a local Middle Eastern bakery.

"The people you meet are just insane," the (South African) wife said.

The most insane, it turns out, was one guy who called the cops on the combo storefront/bakery headquarters.

"The prices are too high!", he told them.  "It's simply criminal!".

"They're in charge of the prices, and they can charge as much as they want, and it's your choice whether to buy it or not," the cops replied, she said.

(I guess they know the cops and the cops later told them the story, or the person was actually in the store when they called the cops and she witnessed the whole thing?)
