You got a nice big stick layin' 'round in your store....?

(Smalltown setting) A kid walks into a small deli store, walks up to the counter and looks in.
"Mmmm! Is that cheddar? I love cheddar."
"Why yes it is son! How much would you like?"
"Oh, I don't really. But you can cut me a slice of that Gouda. Just to try>"
Looking a bit confused, the shopkeeper gave him a piece of Gouda, which he ate.

"Oh! You know what I haven't eaten in ages? Tuna salad made with flaked white tuna!"
"They're $2.79 a can. Just one?"
"Actually, I'd like one of those Kalamata olives. Just to try!"
Still confused, now a bit angry, the shopkeeper scoops one out and gives it to the boy.

"Ohhhh, Havarti! Is it spicy?"
"Yes it's spicy!", the shopkeeper said angrily, as other customers began to chuckle. "How much do you want!"
"Nah, I don't like spicy cheese. But if I could try a slice of that salami there. Just...."

"GET OUT OF MY STORE, YOU NITWIT, AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!", the storekeeper yelled as he chased the kid out of the store.

That evening the kid's parents went into the store to buy some delis. It was a small town and he saw them before in the store with their boy.

"That son of yours is a menace! He comes in asking about the cheddar, then wants to sample the gouda. Asks about the tuna, then wants to sample the olives. Asks about the havarti then wants to sample the salami. You need to teach that kid to respect his elders. He ridiculed me in front of my customers!"

"Is that so?",asked the father. "I have an idea. You got a nice big stick layin' 'round in your store?"
"I sure do!", said the shopkeeper.
"Next time he comes around your store, grab him, twisted his arm behind his back and make him apologize!"
