A couple decide to go for a meal and after some
deliberation decide on their local Chinese restaurant. They
peruse the menu and finally agree
to share the chef's special 'Chicken Surprise'.
The waiter brings over the meal, served in a lidded cast
iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to start in on the meal, the lid
of the pot rises by a tiny amount and she briefly sees two
beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back
down.
'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband.
He hasn't so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches
for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two beady little
eyes looking around before it firmly slams back down.
Rather perturbed he calls the waiter over, explains what
is happening, and demands an explanation.
'Well sir', says the waiter, 'What did you order?'
'We both chose the same', he replies, 'the Chicken
Surprise'
'Oh I do apologise, this is my fault' says the waiter...
'I've brought you the Peking duck'
