Ok . . .

Breakfast at the Holiday Inn

Waiter: "Are you ready to order?"

Me: "I am, I'll have the denver omelette. What does it come with? Are there hashbrowns on the side?

Waiter: "No we don't have hashbrowns."

Me: "You don't have hashbrowns? Do you not have any dishes on your breakfast menu with hashbrowns?"

"No sir we don't"

"Ok . . . um . . . thats strange"

"What kind of toast would you like?"

"Brown please"

20 minutes later my breakfast arrives resplendent with hashbrowns and white toast.

"Err, I thought you said you didn't have hashbrowns?"

"We don't sir, those are called skillet fries"

"But its the same thing"

"No those are skillet fries, we don't serve hashbrowns"

"Ok . . . and actually I asked for brown toast"

"I'm sorry sir we didn't have any brown bread"

"Do you have a secret name for that too?"

Awkward pause.

"Enjoy your breakfast sir"
