一天早上，一位住在豪华酒店的房客，在早餐厅里招呼服务员领班过来。

他看了看菜单：“我想要一个煮得不太熟的鸡蛋，这样它的内心就会像鼻涕那样。还要一个煮过头的鸡蛋，这样它就会硬得难以下咽。我还想要一根烤培根，但一端是冷的。吐司要烤焦。黄油从冰箱里直接拿出来，这样它就不会化开。还要一壶像刷锅水味道，也不热的咖啡。”

“您点的这个早餐有点复杂，先生。”领班感到为难。

“这是有点难。”客人语带嘲讽地说，“但也不会那么难。因为昨天你们给我做的就是那样的！”

原文： Complicated Order

A resident in a posh hotel breakfast room called over the head waiter one morning and read from the menu。

“I'd like one under-cooked egg so that it's runny，and one over-cooked egg so that it's tough and hard to eat。I'd also like grilled bacon which is a bit on the cold side，burnt toast，butter straight from the freezer so that it's impossible to spread，and a pot of very weak，lukewarm coffee。”

“That's a complicated order sir。”said the bewildered waiter。

“It might be quite difficult。”The guest replied sarcastically，“It can't be that difficult because that's exactly what you brought me yesterday！”
