How come. The downfall of proper grammar. Should he not have said, “Pardon me Mom, may I see the menu?” However that would have totally ruined the punchline. Oh wait! I see. Today’s joke is a mockery of the modern education system.
Algren’s “three rules of life”: “Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom’s. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.”
No one is eating at the table it is take out only. It not that she does not understand or not speak a word of English no matter how clear or how well you say it she is playing by the rules it is take out only. But every restaurant is the same take out because of the pandemic.
Soon there will be an artificial intelligence that will only respond to requests if you ask politely – a new generation of “May I”. (Groan supplied in advance).

When eating at “Mom’s”, one must observe the house rules.

Mother: "You don’t get no stinking menu. You will eat what I serve and like it. Or go to bed without dinner. " Yep!, that’s my Mom

Shouldn’t the Moms sign be backwards?
