Parlor Story

A southern restaurant serves eggs with all meat orders. A patron ordered

pork chops.

“Boss, how do yo’ all want yo’ eggs,” inquired the waiter.

“Oh, you can eliminate the eggs.”

The waiter repeated the order to the colored chef and added “liminate dem

eggs.”

The chef scratched his head. “Sambo, yo tell dat customer ah ain’t got no

time this mawning to liminate dem eggs and that he all will have to have

dem cooked some oder way.”
