TIT FOR TAT

A baker in a little country town bought a pound of Butter from a nearby farmer. One day he suspected that the Butter was underweight , and for several days he weighed them.

He was right. They were short weight, and he had the farmer arrested.

At the trial the judge said to the farmer, "I presume you have scales?"

"No, your honour."

"Then how do you manage to weigh the butter you sell?" inquired the judge.

The farmer replied, "That is easily explained, your honour. I have balances and for a weight I use a one-pound loaf I buy from the baker."
