A Boomer couple went out for breakfast at a restaurant offering the “Seniors’ Special”—two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for just $2.99.
“Sounds great,” the wife said. “But I don’t want the eggs.”
The waiter frowned. “Well, if you skip the eggs, it’ll be $3.49 because you’re ordering à la carte.”
The wife blinked. “Wait… so I have to pay more for NOT taking the eggs?”
“Yep,” the waiter replied matter-of-factly.
She thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly. “Fine. I’ll take the special.”
“Great! How would you like your eggs?” the waiter asked.
Without missing a beat, she said, “Raw. In the shell.”
She took the eggs home and baked a cake.
Moral of the story?
DON’T MESS WITH SENIORS. We’ve been around the block a few times!
