“Can I have half a pound of bacon, please.”/“Danish?” (joke)

Some people go to the butcher and order Danish bacon. A joke was posted on X/Twitter by Ed on August 19, 2016:
 
“Can I have a pound of bacon please.”
“Danish?”
“Kan jeg få pund bacon venligst?”
   
“Half a pound of bacon please.”/“Lean back, sir?” is a similar joke.
