Country Cafe

Last night I had dinner with Lin and F.S. I ordered the striped bass. Fifteen minutes later the waiter returned. "I'm sorry we just sold the last bass." I ordered the flounder. A few minutes later the waiter returned. "I'm sorry but we're out of the flounder." I looked at the menu. "In fact, we're out of all the fish." The waiter left. When he returned I asked about the mussels. "Yes, we have mussels," he said. I ordered the mussels.

Later that evening, as we were about to leave the waiter stopped us. He brought us coffee and port, and we toasted to each other's health. Posted by eku at February 4, 2004 5:05 PM
