While vacationing on Cape Cod, my wife and I stopped at a
small way-side stand and bought some tomatoes.

When I
commented how small they were, the proprietor's reply was
"Ay-up."

Returning a day or two later, my wife told the man the
tomatoes he had sold us were tough and not very flavorful.

The old gentleman nodded, looked at us a moment, then
said, "Lucky they was small, ain't it?"
