Ed’s Choice

“If you were a fly, Ed…”

“What’d you mean, a fly?”

“I’m just asking.”

They were at AL’S DINER. The waitress had not yet taken their orders. Ed knew his flies. That’s why Mel asked.

“So, if you were a fly, would you go for the scrambled eggs or Al’s oatmeal?”

“A fly, huh, Mel?”

“Yeah… Just a regular house fly.”

“Well, I guess the eggs. Now, of course, a horse fly…That might be different.”

“Nah…I’m only interested in regular flies, Ed. I don’t see that many horse flies, compared to the usual house flies, in here today.”
