A blind man walks into a restaurant and takes a seat.
The owner, who’s also the waiter, hands him a menu.
The man kindly says, “I’m blind, sir, I can’t read the menu. Just bring me a used fork from another table, and I’ll figure it out.”
Confused but curious, the owner brings over a fork from the pile of dirty dishes.
The blind man sniffs it and says, “Perfect. I’ll have the meatloaf with mashed potatoes.”
The owner is stunned and rushes to tell his wife, who does the cooking.
A few days later, the blind man returns.
Once again, the owner hands him a menu out of habit.
The man gently reminds him, “Remember me? I’m the blind man.”
Realizing his mistake, the owner fetches another used fork.
After a quick sniff, the man confidently orders, “Ah, that smells good — macaroni and cheese with broccoli.”
Still baffled, the owner plans a little test.
The next week, when the blind man walks in, the owner hurries to the kitchen and tells his wife, “Hey Mary, rub this fork on your underwear before I take it to him.”
Mary, though puzzled, goes along with the prank.
When the blind man sniffs the fork, he pauses and then grins, “I didn’t know Mary worked here!”
