A newcomer to the USA arrived in NYC. He made his way into the city and found a small cafe. He was hungry and smelled food. He went inside and sat at a table wondering how he could order, he couldn't speak English, and no one there was speaking his language.
He had an idea, he'd listen to someone else's order and order the same thing.
A nearby person asked for the waitress and ordered apple pie, coffee.
He kept repeating in his mind, apple pie coffee, apple pie coffee, apple pie coffee. He motioned to the waitress, she came up.
Waitress: Are you ready to order?
Man: Apple pie coffee
The waitress walked off, a few minutes later she came back with his order. He ate the pie and drank the coffee, payed his bill, it was great.
He kept coming back for apple pie and coffee
After a few days he was tired of apple pie and coffee. He had another idea, listen to someone else's order, it worked well before. Another patron ordered a grilled ham and cheese and a Coke.
He worked on remembering grilled ham and cheese Coke, grilled ham and cheese Coke, grilled ham and cheese Coke, grilled ham and cheese Coke.
He motioned to the waitress, proud of himself for cleverly bypassing the language barrier. After all he was really sick and tired of apple pie coffee.
Waitress: Are you ready to order?
Man: Grilled ham and cheese, Coke.
Waitress: Do you want that on white, whole wheat or rye???
Man: With tears in his eyes he said...
Apple pie coffee.
