Although he always
ordered just ham and eggs everyday, one customer at the diner always studied the
menu carefully each day before ordering.

One day his
regular waitress decided to see if he could be made to order anything else.

Before giving him
the menu she marked out the ham and eggs entry.

After waiting a
few minutes she asked, "Did you notice, sir, that I scratched something that you
like?"

Without looking up
from the menu, he replied, "Well then, go wash your hands and bring me some ham
and eggs."
