Jay returned home grinning foolishly on a festival holiday, and his wife wondered aloud about what was so funny.
Jay revealed that he had bought a fine leg of lamb from the market. On his way home, he encountered a friend who wrote a special mutton recipe. Jay was happily looking forward to a delicious meal as he walked back home with the lamb piece in one hand and the recipe in the other. As ill luck would have it, a crow had spied the meat. Swooping down with a raucous cry, the crow stole the meat from Jay’s hand and flew off with it towards a cluster of trees.
“You fool,” cried his wife, “what’s so funny about the crow stealing the meat that we could have cooked on this festival ?”
“You don’t understand begum!” Jay continued grinning from ear to ear. “The stupid crow may have stolen our meat! But what’s it going to do with raw meat? It forgot to steal the recipe from my other hand, which is still with me!”
============================================
Jay observed a sign in the window of a restaurant that read “Unique Breakfast” so he walked in and sat down.
The waitress brought him his coffee and asked him what he wanted.
Jay: “What`s your `Unique Breakfast?`”
Waitress”Baked tongue of chicken.”
Jay: “Baked tongue of chicken?… Do you have any idea how disgusting that is? I would never even consider eating anything that came out of a chicken`s mouth!”
Undaunted, the waitress asked, “What would you like then?”
“Just bring me scrambled eggs,” Jay replied.
