Was in a traditional diner where waitress called the order to the cook. One lunch a customer apparently changed his mind about soup. Waitress yelled to the kitchen; “hold the chicken make it pea . . . in regards to soup”. All conversation paused for a few minutes.
Customer 1: What a great restaurant! I ordered a hot cup of coffee and got the hottest cup of coffee in the world! And my fresh egg was the freshest egg in the world!
Customer 2 (ruefully): I know. I ordered a small steak.

Best pea soup I ever had was at an old, out of town restaurant, which unfortunately has closed … too far to drive for most!
