The $2.99 Special


We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.

'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then, I'll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.

'Sorry, yes' stated the waitress.

'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.

'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake...



*Thanks to my SISTER in-law Terry for this funny email!

  8. The breakfast was a delicious bargain!
    You'd asked about my pheasant plate. It's unmarked. But I suspect it's Limoges, as the roses exactly match the smaller plate with the garland border. Could be Bavarian, though. I wish I knew! I have two pheasant plates. The other one has 2 indecipherable marks. I wish I could take a Nancy Drew-like class on Dish Investigations. :-)
