At the Restaurant


Sometimes it’s fun to just be silly. That is the case with this blog. Ron and Mark, on their way to a high school basketball game, stopped for lunch at “The Leaky Bucket,” a pub located near the gymnasium:


Waiter (after the two gentlemen are seated): May I help you?


Mark: Yes; do you serve crabs?


Waiter: Sir, we’ll serve anyone who has enough money to pay the bill.


Mark: Very funny! I’ll have a steak, peas, potato soup, and black coffee.


Waiter: And the vegetable?


Mark (grinning at Ron): You’ll have to ask him yourself.


Ron: Very funny! I’ll have the chicken pot pie, some sausages, and black coffee.


In about ten minutes the waiter returns with some of the food:


Ron (after tasting the chicken pot pie): Hey! There’s no chicken in this!


Waiter: So what? Do you expect to find a “dog” in a dog biscuit?


Mark: This coffee tastes like mud!


Waiter: That’s no surprise! Just this morning it was ground!


Ron (looking at his watch): Waiter, how long will my sausages be?


Waiter: I’d say about three or four inches.


Waiter (to Mark): Sir, how do you find your steak?


Mark: Easy; I just brush aside a few peas and there it is.


Waiter: Is there anything else, sir?


Mark: Yeah. What’s that fly doing in my soup?


Waiter (Looking carefully into the bowl): I would say he’s doing the backstroke, sir.


Ron: This food isn’t fit for pigs!


Waiter: Then let me take it back and I’ll find something that is!


The clumsy waiter then trips and drops most of the food on Ron’s lap.


Waiter: I’m terribly sorry, sir! Oh well, at least your friend will eat for free.


Ron: Why’s that?


Waiter: Well, it looks to me like this meal’s on you!


Waiter (after cleaning up the mess): This is a first-class joint; we have entertainment. Here’s Joe on the piano.


The piano player is awful, to say the least. After listening for about ten minutes the two gentlemen can take no more:


Ron(walking over to the piano player): Don’t you know how to be quiet?


Piano player: Heck no, man, but if you hum a few bars, I’ll pick it up.


Waiter (now with a raspy voice): Would you gentlemen like some ice cream for dessert? We have vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.


Mark: Do you have laryngitis?


Waiter: No, just vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.


Mark:(after looking through a nearby window, watching the chef roll pizza dough on his fat, hairy stomach): That’s disgusting!


Waiter: That’s nothing! You should have seen how he thawed your steak; he held it under his armpit for fifteen minutes.


Ron and Mark still go to many basketball games, but now they pack their own lunches.
