A time traveller goes back to ancient Rome and immediately starts looking for local clothing.
He finds a tailor's shop and says "Hey, could I have a toga please?"
"Sure, what size?" says the shopkeeper.
"I don't know. Let's try an L."
The shopkeeper hands him a toga, the time traveller tries it on, then he says "It's a bit tight. Could I try an XL, please?"
And the shopkeeper says "What's the fucking point of asking for a smaller one?"

For those that don't know Roman Numerals, L=50 and X=10. Placing a smaller digit before a larger digit means "this amount before this larger amount," i.e.: XL=40.
