An elderly couple went to a restaurant for breakfast, where the senior special was two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for $2.99.
Wife:
“That sounds good, but I don’t want the eggs.”
Waiter:
“Then I’ll have to charge you $3.49 because you’d be ordering à la carte.”
The wife looked surprised.
Wife:
“You mean I have to pay extra just because I don’t want the eggs?”
Waiter:
“Yes.”
Wife:
“Fine. I’ll take the special.”
Waiter:
“Great! How would you like your eggs?”
Wife:
“Raw and still in the shell.”
She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
