The tiny top

Nearby there was a sign that hung in the window near the butcher's
counter in the store next to their small apartment. It read, "All
Joints Must Be Re-Weighed at Time of Purchase".
David Crosby wanted
that sign to display in the flat's window. So, on his next shopping
trip Graham Nash went up to the butcher and said: "I'll have four
pork chops, that piece of lamb roast, half-pound of liver and that
sign".

And, I'd love
to know whether David or Graham kept that sign!
