One dollar a piece

Two Irish farmers bought a truckload of watermelons, paying one dollar a piece for them

Then they drove to the market and sold all their melons for the SAME price (\$1) they'd paid for them

After counting their money at the end of the day, they realize they'd ended up with no more money than they'd started with

``See!'' said one.''I told you we shoulda got a bigger truck.''
