7 and 7 is 11
A woman from Chelm went to the market one day to buy herring and a loaf of bread. ‘How much is it?‘ she asked the storekeeper.

‘14 cents,‘ answered the storekeeper to the lady.

‘14 cents! For what?‘ asked the lady.

The storekeeper explained: The herring costs 7 cents, and the loaf of bread costs 7 cents also. So together it comes to 14 cents.‘

‘I know different. To the best of my recollection, 7 and 7 is 11.‘

‘What are your saying?‘

‘As far as I know, 7 and 7 is 11…I had already had 4 children when my first husband died. When I married a second time, my second husband also had 4 children from his first wife. After getting married, we had 3 children together. So each of us had 7 children, and together we had 11!

Obviously, 7 and 7 is 11.‘
