Анекдот - 18 dollar

So they carefully made some plates (они аккуратно сделали несколько клише) and printed some up (и напечатали несколько), and went to a small town to try them out (и поехали в маленький городок испробовать их).
They got up to a shopkeeper (они подошли к владельцу магазина) and talked for a while (и поговорили немного), then casually said (потом небрежно, вскользь сказали), «Say, can you give me change for an 18 dollar bill? (скажи, ты можешь мне разменять 18-ти долларовый чек)»
«Sure (конечно),» said the old shopkeeper (сказал старый хозяин магазина). «What would you like (что ты предпочтешь: “что бы ты хотел”), three 6's or two 9's? (три /купюры/ по шесть или две по девять)».
