   The same thing happened to my father back in the late 40’s, only it went down his t-shirt. He dumped the bike and tore off his shirt in the middle of a city intersection.

   Bobby: [looking at his menu] I’d like a plain omelette. No potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.

   [The waitress indicates something on the menu with the butt of her pencil.]

   Waitress: No substitutions.

   Bobby: What do you mean, you don’t have any tomatoes?

   Waitress: [annoyed] Only what’s on the menu… [again, indicating with her pencil] You can have a number two, a plain omelette. It comes with cottage fries and rolls.

   Bobby: Yeah I know what it comes with, but it’s not what I want.

   Waitress: Well I’ll come back when you make up your mind…

   [She starts to move away and Bobby detains her.]

   Bobby: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I’d like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast.

   Waitress: I’m sorry, we don’t have any side orders of toast. I can give you an English muffin or a coffee roll.

   Bobby: What do you mean, you don’t make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don’t you?

   Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?

   Palm: Hey, mack!

   Bobby: [to Palm] Shut up. [to the waitress] You’ve got bread, and a toaster of some kind?

   Waitress: I don’t make the rules.

   Bobby: Okay, I’ll make it as easy for you as I can. I’d like an omelette, plain, and a chicken-salad sandwich on wheat toast—no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce—and a cup of coffee.

   [She begins writing down his order, repeating it sarcastically.]

   Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san—hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise—and a cup of coffee…anything else?

   Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, gimme the check for the chicken-salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.

   Waitress: [challenging him] You want me to hold the chicken, huh?

   Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
