Food Joke

The celebratory Chinese meal Yitzhak and Hannah decide to eat out to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and after some deliberation, they choose the KOSHER MOSHE Chinese restaurant. When they arrive, they discuss the menu with the waiter and agree to share the chef`s special ‘Chicken Surprise.’ After a short wait, the waiter brings over their meal, which is served inside a lidded cast iron pot, and departs without removing the lid. Hannah is ready to start eating but before she can reach over to the pot, the lid suddenly rises by 1cm all by itself. Hannah looks closely at the pot and briefly sees two beady little eyes looking at her. Then the lid slams back down again. Hannah is worried. "Did you see that?" she asks Yitzhak. "No, darling, I didn’t," replies Yitzhak. "So look in the pot already," she tells Yitzhak. As he reaches for the lid, it again rises up by 1cm all by itself. Yitzhak looks closely and sees two beady little eyes looking at him. Then the lid firmly slams back down again. Hannah starts to panic and shouts at Yitzhak, "Call the manager over, CALL THE MANAGER OVER." So Yitzhak gets the manager and they tell him what they saw and demand an explanation. "Well sir, I think I can explain," says the manager. "What did you order?" "We both chose the same," Yitzhak replies, "the Chicken Surprise." "Oh I do apologize," says the manager, "the waiter brought you the ‘Peking Duck` by mistake."
