Jokes.
Is this tea or coffee?
Waiter, waiter, there is a fly in my soup.
Can’t you tell the difference, sir, by the taste?
Don’t worry, sir, the spider on the bread will catch it.
No, I can’t.
Well, if you can’t tell the difference, what does it matter which is it?
Waiter, waiter, do you serve crabs?
Waiter, waiter, what’s in my soup?
Sit down, sir, we serve anybody.
I have no idea, sir. All insects look the same to me.
This is the end.
Good luck!
