Where's the Bacon

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.

  2. Good one! The best bacon and eggs is without eggs though.

  5. I 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.

  6. I don't eat bacon, so I would have ordered something similar, I guess. Good story!
