Holding Back the inner Groucho

I have always been a huge admirer of Groucho Marx. That said, the other day I was purchasing some ice cream at a shop where you choose the flavor and they pack it for you. At that time they told me they were out of Pint size containers and would use a quart size and fill it up half-way. I said fine.

At the cash register I asked, in a serious voice, whether they were charging me for the custom ice cream shop "air" that filled the half filled quart container (I have no eyebrows to waggle). They were shocked, I started laughing, and they did as well.

Upon departure I realized, perhaps, someone might have been a "Ken" to them about this in the past. I hope not.

Whatever the case may be, MAGA Kens or Karens will not steal my inner Groucho. Won't happen.

"Who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes."

Say the magic word and I can't remember what you win, help.
