There is a diner in New Orleans that advertises that it will serve you anything you wantโฆbut if they canโt, they will give you $5,000 as an apology. A man passing by sees this message advertised at the entranceโฆThinking itโs probably a scam, he decides to try it out anyway. As he enters the diner, a waitress seats him at a tableโฆ She asks the man, โWhat can I get you, Sir? โThe man thinks for a moment then says, โHow about an elephantโs ear and a muffin? โThe waitress replies, โYou bet, Iโll be right back with your order.
โThe waitress then heads back to the kitchenโฆAfter waiting nearly 20 minutes, the man begins to think that this is going to be an easy $5,000. At the same moment, the waitress returnsโฆ Appearing a little anxious, the waitress asks, โIโm sorry sirโฆ โโBut would you mind telling me what kind of elephant you want this ear from? โThe man is stunnedโฆโUhhh, how about an Indian elephant.โ replies the man. The waitress says, โThank you, sir,โ as she heads back to the kitchen. Not a minute later, the waitress returns againโฆโIโm sorry sir, would you like the left or the right ear?โ she asks. The man is starting to become very nervous at this pointโฆโUhhhh, the left ear, I guess. โThank you, sir,โ replies the waitress as she returns to the kitchenโฆThe man is beginning to wonder what he has gotten himself into, as he has no idea what an elephant ear costs. A few minutes later, the waitress returns with a platter of food and a $5,000 checkโฆThe waitress tells the man, โHere is your order sir. โAnd please accept this check and our apologiesโฆ โโBut we are out of muffins today.โ
