An American man decides to check his ancestral roots out and visits Greece. He rents a small apartment whilst there and decides that he needs to shop for some food. He goes to his nearest grocery store and asks the shop assistant if they have any apples. The lady at the counter leads him to the apples and he says "Are these them? they seem to be the size of golf balls compared to the ones in America!" Anyway, he decides to buy them and leaves. The next day he comes back and asks if they have any oranges. The same lady as the day before leads him to the oranges and he says, "Is that what oranges are in this country, they're tiny, i'll call these satsumas!" He again buys them and leaves. The woman is a little fed up with him and that evening decides to tell her husband the whole story. He tells her that he'll sort the problem out! The next day the American arrives at the store and goes straight to the counter. The man behind the counter asks if he may be of any service, and the American asks what happened to the woman who was there the day before. and the man replies that she had a personal problem and wasn't in today. The American then asks kindly if they have any watermelons in stock, and the man replies that he is sold out. The American is a little confused due to him seeing a pile of watermelons not ten feet away and he points to them whilst asking the man, "Well, what are these then?" The man replies. "Oh, they are OLIVES!"
