Fancy, Schmancy

A Jew was walking on Regent Street in London
and stopped in to a posh gourmet food shoppe.
An impressive salesperson in morning coat with
tails approached him and politely asked, "Can I
help you, Sir?"
"Yes," replied the customer, "I would like to buy
a pound of lox."
"No. No," responded the dignified salesperson,
"You mean smoked salmon."
"Okay, a pound of smoked salmon."
"Anything else?"
"Yes, a dozen blintzes."
"No. No. You mean crepes."
"Okay, a dozen crepes."
"Anything else?"
"Yes. A pound of chopped liver."
"No. No. You mean pate."
"Okay," said the Jewish patron with a sigh,
"A pound of pate. And," he added, "I'd like you
to deliver this to my house on Saturday."
"Whaaat?!? Look," retorted the indignant
salesperson, "We don't schlep on Shabbos!"
