A Diner Problem
Ralph and Rayette were at breakfast, with Ralph treating. He called the waiter over to their booth with its plywood table top.
“Is something the matter?”
“I'll say...Rayette, here, just saw another fly by her oatmeal."
Ralph had the eggs, and Rayette the oatmeal.
“What kind of place is this that has so many flies?”
“Many? What’d you mean by ‘many’?”
Rayette said she saw about five, maybe six of them.
Dismissively the waiter frowned.
“Six? You think six flies is a lot? You should see the number of ‘em in the kitchen...Especially around the pot of oatmeal.”From Guest Contributor David Sydney
