Guess the Secret Solution!

I was buying food at the Hoboken train station yesterday. I asked for a swiss cheese omelette, which comes with toast and home fries.

The sullen man at the counter said, "We're out of home fries."

"Can I get it with french fries instead?"

A solemn nod was his only reply.

"Well, what if you just serve me the eggs and toast, and take a little off the price?"

Angered by my stupidity, he shouted, "That's what I was going to do even without you asking!"
