Server: Hi. Welcome to Joe's
Hamburger Restaurant. [Hi] Home of the one-pound super deluxe hot and spicy
cheeseburger. Will this be for here or to go?
Customer: Uh, to go.
Server: Okay. What would you like today? Would you like to try the one-pound
super hot and spicy cheeseburger?
Server: Well. It's our house special this week, and it comes with fries, and a
large specialty drink called "Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink."
Customer: A what? "Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink"? What in the world
is that?
Server: Well, it's a little mix of everything in a large cup: Pepsi, Sprite,
Fanta Orange, and lemonade with crushed ice and a scoop of ice cream.
Customer: Ah, that sounds disgusting.
Customer: Nay, I think I'll just order a hamburger with some mustard and lettuce
and a glass of water.
Server: Boring. Hey. Would you care for anything else like a side order of
amazing cheesy onion rings?
Server: Hmm. Okay. Your total comes to ten ninety ($10.90).
Customer: Ten ninety? For just a hamburger?! You've got to be kidding
Server: Well, the one-pound super deluxe hamburger is nine dollars.
Customer: Hey, I didn't order a one-pound burger. I just wanted a simple burger.
That's all.
Server: Well, sir. Joe's Hamburger Restaurant only serves one-pound burgers. [Man!] The one-pound super hot
and spicy, the one-pound barbecue burger, the one-pound bacon cheese burger,
the one-pound . . .
Customer: No, no. Those are all huge.
Server: Well, sir. If you really want something smaller [Yeah], you
should order from the kids' menu: The half-pound super hot and spicy burger,
the half-pound barbecue burger, the half-pound bacon cheese burger, the
half-pound . . .
Customer: No. Those are still giant burgers.
Customer: Okay, but you said my total was ten ninety, but the burger only comes
to ten bucks. What about the other ninety cents?
Server: Well, sir. We only serve natural spring water from yonder hills, and .
. .
Customer: Okay, okay. I'll take the giant burger and a bottle of your spring
water. The
sandwich should feed me for a week.
