Restaurant Manager: "What seems to be the matter."

Customer: "I was telling your waiter here that there's a fly in my soup!"

Manager: "Is there?"

Waiter: [Holding a spoon with a fly in it.] "See for yourself, sir."

Manager: "I see. I am so sorry. We'll replace the soup, and I'll talk to the kitchen staff."

Customer: "I had a conniption over this, you know."

Manager: "Oh, did you order a conniption?"

Customer: "What?"

Waiter: "No. They did not order a conniption."

Manager: "Tell you what. The conniption is on the house. We won't charge you for it."

Customer: "What? You charge for conniptions?"

Waiter: [Looking around worried.] "Not so loud!"

Customer: "Why..."

Manager: "Other customers will want conniptions too if they know that we offer them on the house."

Customer: "What..."

Manager: "Since our conniptions are imported, they are on the expensive side."

Customer: "That does it! Now I'm having a fit!"

Waiter: "We don't serve fits here. If you want a fit, you'll have to go to the restaurant next door."
