Shopper to butcher: How much are your lamb chops?
Butcher: Six dollars a pound.
Shopper: Six? Across the street they charge five.
Butcher: So go across the street.
Shopper: They don't have any.
Butcher: If I didn't have any, I'd charge you four!

I don't know who Myron Cohen is, but that's pretty funny.
Great Jewish comedian from the '50s and '60s.
Sheldon, whenever there is an emergency and there are news of price controls, I tend to blame the victim. I mean, that's exactly what they want. They have to endure the bad consequences of their choice of allowing Government to satisfy their wrong economic insight that says it is a bad thing to raise prices as demand raises.
Am I wrong in blaming the victim in these situations?
