It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young
 woman, with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop and
 confronted him with the news that the baby was his and asked what
 was he going to do about it?  Finally he offered to provide her with
 free meat until the boy was 16.  She agreed.

    He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day
 the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into
 the shop and said, "I'll be 16 tomorrow."

    "I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting too.
 Tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is
 the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face."

    When the boy arrived home he told his mother.  The woman nodded
 and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had
 free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years.  Then
 watch the expression on HIS face!"
