Vegetable Soup

"What's That, You Say?"*

*The eight-year old boy had never spoken a word-ever.
One afternoon, as he sat eating his lunch he turned
to his mother and said, "Soup's cold."

His astonished mother exclaimed, "Son, I've waited
so long to hear you speak. But all these years you
never said a thing. Why haven't you spoken before?"

The boy looked at her and replied, "Up until now,
everything's been okay."

"Vegetable Soup"*

*Checking the menu, a restaurant customer ordered
a bowl of vegetable soup. After a couple of spoonfuls,
he saw a circle of wetness right under the bowl on the tablecloth.

He called the waitress over and said, "It's all wet down
here. The bowl must be cracked."

The waitress said, "You ordered vegetable soup, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Maybe it has a leek in it!"
