Truck Stop Dinning
Published Jan 01, 1900
A young man at his first job as a waiter in a diner has a large trucker sit down at the counter and order, "Gimme 3 flat tires and a couple of headlights." He goes to the kitchen and tells the cook, "I think this guy's in the wrong place, look at what he ordered!" The cook says, "He wants 3 pancakes and 2 eggs sunny-side up." "I get it," replies the waiter. So on his way back out to the counter he takes a bowl of beans to the trucker. He looks at it and says, "I didn't order this!" The young man tells him, "I figured while you're waiting for your parts you might as well gas up!"
