What’s on the Menu?
A trucker walked into a truck stop cafe one morning.
“I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards,” he told the waitress.
It was her first day on the job so she went to the kitchen and asked the cook about the order. What does he think this is, and auto parts store?”
“No,” the cook laughed. “Three flat tires means three pancakes. A pair of headlights means two eggs sunny side up. And a pair of running boards means two slices of crisp bacon!”
“Oh, ok,” she said, relieved to learn the code words.
She thought about it for a moment, then spooned up a bowl of beans and took it out to the customer.
The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, darlin’?”
She replied, “I thought that while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights, and running boards, you might as well gas up!”
