Made to Order
70 years ago my dad and his friend, Will, stopped at noon at a cafe/restaurant in a small community. They asked what kind of soup they had.
Will ordered chicken soup, and the waitress hollered to the cook: "One chicken soup." Dad ordered pea soup, so she hollered: "One pea soup." Will said, "I think I will have pea soup too," so the waitress hollered "Hold the chicken and make it pea!"
