T0275. Dates, with Pits Included

Nasruddin bought dates. His mother asks why he keeps the pits after he eats. Nasruddin replies, "The brocer told me it was all included in the price! I will keep them; maybe I will eat them later."

Notes: In some versions (like Barnham), he tries to get the grocer to discount the weight of the pits; since the grocer does not, Nasruddin eats the dates, pits and all.
