I'll Take The Special

"I'll Take The Special"

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the special
was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want
the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and
forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte,"
the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?"
my wife asked incredulously. " O.K...I'll take the special."

"How do you want your eggs?"

"Raw, uncooked, and in the shell," my wife replied.

...The wife took the eggs home.

"Solly's Diner"

John and Jake went into a diner that looked as
though it had seen better days. As they slid in
to a booth, John wiped some crumbs from the
seat. Then he took a napkin and wiped some
mustard from the table. The waitress, in a dirty
uniform, came over and asked if they wanted
some menus.

"No thanks," said John, "I'll just have a cup of
black coffee."

"I'll have black coffee, too," Jake said. "And please
make sure the cup is clean."

The waitress shot him a nasty look. She turned
and marched off in to the kitchen. Two minutes
later, she was back.

"Two cups of black coffee," she announced.
"Which one of you wanted the clean cup?"
