Senior Special

A senior couple went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," said the wife. "But, I don't want the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you $2.49 because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" the woman asked incredulously. She thought a second and then said, "I'll take the special."

"How do you want your eggs?" asked the waitress.

"Raw and in the shell," smiled the older woman. And she took the two eggs home.
