Ed's Choice
“If you were a fly, Ed...”
“What'd you mean, a fly?”
“I'm just asking.”
They were at AL'S DINER. The waitress had not yet taken their orders. Ed knew his flies. That's why Mel asked.
“So, if you were a fly, would you go for the scrambled eggs or Al's oatmeal?”
“A fly, huh, Mel?”
“Yeah… Just a regular house fly.”
“Well, I guess the eggs. Now, of course, a horse fly...That might be different.”
“Nah...I'm only interested in regular flies, Ed. I don't see that many horse flies, compared to the usual house flies, in here today.”
