Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB Touching on Our Daily Menu By IRVIN S. COBB TF MY memory serves me right, I already have told here the yarn of the patron in the cheap restaurant who ordered eggs for breakfast. “Boss,” said the colored waiter, “mebbe you better tek somethin’ I i 1 1 I 'HI I else. I would not care to reckermend de aigs dis momin’. “Why not?” asked the white man. “Aren’t the eggs fresh? ’ “I don’t know cf dey is or ef they ain’t, ’cause to tell you de truth we ain't got none.” I am repeating this story because it seems to me it should be included with the two others of a somewhat similar tunor which I heard the other day. Glancing over the fly-specked menu in a short.-order establishment in search of dessert a gentleman who had just finished with the more solid parts of the meal, ordered stewed peaches. In a minute or two the waiter came hurrying back from the kitchen. “I’m sorry sir,” he said, “but you’d better order something ^else. The stewed peaches are pears today and they’ve turned sour on us.” Here is number three of the series: A County Kerry man, newly landed in the country, was taking his first walk up Sixth Avenue under the escort of his brother who had been living here several years. In the window of a delicatessen store he saw a great mount of fresh cranberries. What are them?” he asked. “Thim is cranberries,” said the brother. “Are they fit to eat?” “Are they fit to cat?” repeated the brother. “Why whin thim cran berries is stewea they make better applesauce than prunes do.” (American New* Feature*.
