Chaim Yankel was in need of a job and he finally got one waiting tables at Moishe’s Delicatessen. Thursday was his first day and it was a busy night and Moishe the owner emerged from the kitchen and handed Chaim Yankel some money. "We're in trouble!" He said. "We're out of quarters, and customers are waiting. Go next door and get me $40 worth."
Chiam Yankel ran to the kosher supermarket next door, but a cashier said she wasn't allowed to give out that many quarters. Determined, Chaim Yankel sprinted to a convenience store two blocks away, but it was closed. At a gas station farther down the road, the clerk took pity and gave Chaim Yankel the four rolls of quarters. Twenty minutes after he’d left, Chaim Yankel handed the coin rolls to his boss. "Where are the quarters?" He asked.
"Right here," Chaim Yankel said breathlessly.
His face sank. "I meant chicken quarters."
