After our search for a place to for coffee and food ended at the third restaurant yesterday, we talked and gabbed for awhile. Then, we settled into perusing our menus.
When it was Sue's turn to order, she chose bacon and eggs. After specifying her preferred toast option and how she wanted her eggs – poached hard – she then said, "No meat."
The server regarded her in puzzlement. I regarded her in puzzlement. The fly on the window regarded her in puzzlement. A pigeon came and sat by the window with a look of puzzlement. The cook came out of the kitchen frowning with puzzlement. Drivers on the highway narrowly averted accidents as they looked toward the restaurant in puzzlement
Sue was wondering why all the puzzled expressions
Finally, the light dawned.
She had ordered bacon and eggs with no bacon.
And that is what she got a few minutes later
And she also got laughed at – just a little.
That's how I order my food... makes people confused but also smiley.
ReplyDeleteGood one! The best bacon and eggs is without eggs though.
ReplyDeleteHey, it's morning! We're all a little puzzled for a bit!
ReplyDeleteGood one, AC! Or rather, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI once saw someone try to order a Big Mac at McDonalds without any meat. It really put a halt to line progress until it was sorted out 20 questions later that indeed the person did not actually want meat on their Big Mac.
ReplyDeleteThat beats Sue's story. 😁
DeleteI don't eat bacon, so I would have ordered something similar, I guess. Good story!
ReplyDeleteI hope she got her coffee quickly...sounds as if she needed it. PS: Your comment yesterday? It WAS Midland Michigan! Did you ever visit the tridge?
ReplyDeleteAll I remember is being at the ball diamond and our team getting wupped. :)
DeleteThanks for the smile! Poor Sue.
ReplyDeleteA little brain teaser for the morning crowd. 🤣
ReplyDeleteJust like the scene in 'Five Easy Pieces', Jack Nicholson trying to order toast.
ReplyDeleteEasy to do! Hard poached eggs though? Oh no. Got to be runny.
ReplyDeleteDid she actually want no bacon? I love bacon but hate to cook it. Restaurants don't always do the best job of that either though.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what she wanted. She just went about it in an unusual way.
DeleteMaybe just order omelette ?
ReplyDeleteThe bacon is the best part although I haven't had any in years.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. "We can do you eggs, bacon, spam, spam , and spam . . ."
ReplyDeleteOnly the cook caught on to this one.
ReplyDeleteTry ordering an egg benedict; please toast the other half of the english muffin and serve it with jelly.
ReplyDeleteHad bacon for lunch and ate it with my fingers.
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh out loud! Thank you for that bit of cheer!
ReplyDeleteHa! Love how you slowed down time to exaggerate the hilarity.
ReplyDeleteOh dear you are too funny. I looked in puzzlement all the way from South Carolina, hahahaha! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense to me. DID the menu have an 'eggs only' option?
ReplyDeleteI was watching from puzzlement from California, too. I love bacon, and also veggies, so I will sometimes order a vegetarian omelet and add bacon. Sometimes I get a puzzled glance.
