Two Doubters

Vinaya and I went to buy potatoes with broccoli. We ordered 16. The man at the window said, "Are you kidding?" He didn't believe we wanted 16 potatoes.

We paid him and asked how long it would take. He said it would take two minutes. Then we didn't believe him!

First he didn't believe us; then we didn't believe him. So we went away to do something else. When we came back in five or six minutes, our order was already waiting for us.
