One afternoon a waiter served a bowl of chicken soup to an elderly gentleman. As he turned away to return to the kitchen the customer stopped him, calling:......"Waiter!".
WAITER: "Yes, sir, is there something wrong?".
CUSTOMER: "The soup. Taste it.".
WAITER: "I beg your pardon, Sir?".
CUSTOMER: "Taste it.".
WAITER: "But, Sir, I can assure you that the soup is excellent.".
CUSTOMER: "Taste it.".
WAITER: "Sir, the soup was made this morning of the finest ingredients.".
CUSTOMER: "Taste it!".
WAITER: exasperated, "All right, Sir, I'll taste it." Then after a pause he said, "Where is the spoon?".
To which the customer replied triumphantly, "Ah ha!!".
