Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

Amazon announced on Friday it was buying the high-end grocery chain Whole Foods, and the internet is having a field day.

Jokes abound over the grocer's high prices, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' net worth (about $84 billion, making him the third-richest person on the planet), and the fact that Bezos on Thursday solicited Twitter for ideas on how to spend his money.

Amazon is paying $42 a share in an all-cash deal, valuing Whole Foods at $13.7 billion and making it the e-commerce giant's largest acquisition to date.

Here are some of the best jokes on Twitter about the deal:

AMAZON, 1998: hello we sell books but online

AMAZON, 2023: please return to your Primehouse for your nightly Primemeal, valued Primecitizen

"See cashier put a Fire Phone in my bag."
"Hey what's that, I didn't buy that."
"It's free."
