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.
