Ok i will try and translate another joke from Greek to English.
One Greek woman who was leaving in America for a lot of years went to Greece for holidays.
She went to a local supermarket to buy some fruit.
Hello. How can i help you? The owner of the shop asked.
I would like some apples. The woman said.
Ok the apples are over there. Pick as many as you like.
Oh god! What kind of apples are these? They are so small. In America apples are much much bigger. What about bananas?
They are behind you. The man said.
Oh god! I never seen such small bananas before. In America they are much much bigger.
The shop owner started getting angry but he didn't say anything.
Ok what about some tomatos?
They are over there.
Oh no. These tomatos are so small. I don't want them. In America they are much bigger.
At this point the man got so angry with her.
Ok i would like some water melons.
Sorry but we don't have any the man said.
Oh no i know you have. I can see them there. The woman said.
Oh no. These are not water melons. The man said. These are green olivs.
