The following anecdote would be more fun to read if the indirect statements were turned into direct quotations. Rewrite it using

direct quotations. Try to make the punch line as effective as possible.
The startled waiter looked hard at the customer who had just ordered one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast for breakfast, and asked him why he wanted such a dish. The man replied that his wife was out of town and he missed her cooking.

One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.
