My friend, while we are shopping and I'm telling her about my mental illness: "You're priceless."
When we get to the checkout: "I'm actually $2.50."
Priceless or $2.50?

The humor here comes from the contrast between the friend's initial statement that the person is "priceless" due to their mental health struggles, which is a compliment, and the person's deadpan reply at the checkout where they ironically put a price on themselves, suggesting they are only worth $2.50, which is unexpected and self-deprecating.
