Waitress: “You get a salad with that. What kind of dressing do you want?”

Me: “French?”

Waitress: “What?”

Me: “How about Catalina?”

Waitress: “Look, this is a diner.”

Me: “Okay, what do you have?”

Waitress: “Italian, Russian, Western…”

Me: “Western. The orange stuff.”

Waitress: “Oh, is that the same as French? Learn something new everyday.”


She: “How’s your spaghetti?”

Me: “Straight from the can. It’s yummy.”

She: “Sometimes you need a break from the fancy gourmet stuff.”

Me: “Yes, I needed to reset my stomach.”


Waitress: “You done there?”

She: “She’s done. I’m still butchering my sandwich.”

Waitress: “You butcher away. You’re welcome to butcher.”

Me: “Is that a special activity they have at diners?”

Waitress: “Yeah. Out back.”
