When Your Commodity is Priced as if it is Stolen Goods

A man who sold brooms went into a barber’s shop to get shaved. The barber bought one of his brooms and when he had shaved him, asked for the price of it.

“Fifty Naira,” the man said.

“No, no, said the barber. I’ll give you twenty naira, and if you don’t think that’s enough, you may take your broom with you as you leave.”

The man took his broom and asked the barber what he had to pay for his shave.

“Hundred Naira,” the barber replied.

“No, no, I’ll give you fifty naira, and if that’s not enough, you may put my beard on again.”
