A man and a woman entered a caf�.
Do you want oysters, Louise? asked the man, as he glanced over the bill of fare.
Yes, George, answered the woman, "and I want a hassock, too."
George nodded, and as he handed the waiter his written order, he said:
Bring a hassock for the lady.
Yes, sir, answered the waiter, "one hassock."
A moment later the waiter, apparently puzzled, approached the man, and leaning over him, said:
Excuse me, sir, but I have only been here two days and do not want to make any mistakes. Will the lady have the hassock broiled or fried?
