A waiter in a small restaurant

Dick was a waiter in a small restaurant. One day a man came in and sat down at one of the tables. Dick greeted him and went to find out what he wanted to eat. The man said he would like some chicken with potatoes and other vegetables.

'Roast chicken. 'he added as Dick was leaving.

'Very well, sir,' Dick answered and disappeared into the kitchen.

But the man called him back, saying, 'Just a moment, waiter. Please try to have it cooked just right- not too little, and not to much, and with as little fat as possible.'

'Very well, sir,' answered Dick obediently. 'I'll tell the cook.'

Once more he began to go towards the kitchen, but again the men stopped him with the words, 'Oh, and I forgot to explain that I'm fond of the leg.'

'Very well, sir,' answered Dick. 'Do you prefer the left leg, or the right?'
