Try asking for 3/4 of a pound of cold cuts sometime.

Always good for a few laughs.

You would think you asked them to explain Einsteins Theory of Relativity.

Try asking for 3/4 of a pound of cold cuts sometimes.

I used to try ordering 1/3 of a pound. One time the befuddled clerk sliced 3/4 of a pound.

I gave up. I ask about how many slices there are in a pound and then ask for the number of slices I want.
