Waitress........ How do you want your eggs.

Me................ Cooked ?


LOVE this! My step-son (who is English) was asked this same question last summer by the waitress.

Waitress: "You can have eggs any way you like, how would you like them?"

Step-Son: "Any way you like."

My husband and I just chuckled :)

chicken fried steak? It's southern...it'd be good if it weren't for the vomit looking white gravy that usually gets poured on top..

Sorry for intruding but what is Chicken fried Steak? How is chicken fried differently from steak normally? :confused: I mean, I fry steak or I fry chicken but they both tend to happen the same way:unsure:

Think weiner schnitzel, but instead of pork, it's fried breaded steak, like they do for chicken.

When I first came over Canada had a tourism campaign which stated "America Borders on the Magnificent", I thought it was great.

Within one day of arriving I went to the supermarket. Before I had put my groceries on the counter I was asked, "Paper or plastic?". Assuming I was being asked how I was to pay I replied, "cash'. :confused:
