Hi Angel..Latest quiz certainly thought provoking and challenging...Thanks...

While we're waiting for a new quiz, here's a little story to give you a chuckle:

The 2.99 special

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon,
hash browns and toast for $2.99.
'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,'
the waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.

'YES!' stated the waitress. 'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.

'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!
They've been around the block more than once!

Rutumi, thanks for the chuckle.
