Every now and then, something similar.

Dunno how it is now, but Generation penny whistles used to come in either plain brass or nickel-plated. The nickel-plated ones were a bit more expensive.

A few years back, I walked into the Folk Store in Seattle and sez to the guy, "I'd like to buy a penny whistle." He sez to me, "All we have right now are the nickel ones."   A bit flummoxed for a moment, I responded, "Do you have any for a dime?"

As we stood looking at each other, totally clueless, a couple other people in the store were cracking up.
