An 82-year-old man and his 80-year-old wife went out one morning to enjoy a quiet breakfast at a local diner. They spotted a sign offering a “Seniors’ Special” — two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for just $2.99. It was a deal too good to pass up.
“That sounds perfect,” the wife said, smiling as she looked over the menu.
Yeah,” her husband agreed, “but I don’t want the eggs.”
The waitress paused, her face turning serious. “If you don’t want the eggs, then you’ll have to pay $3.49,” she said flatly. “That’s the à la carte price.”
