A couple I know decided to go for a meal on their wedding anniversary and after some deliberation decide on their local Chinese restaurant.

They perused the menu and finally agreed to share the chef’s special ‘Chicken Surprise ‘.

Chicken Surprise! The waiter brought over the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife was about to start in on the meal, the lid of the pot rose a tiny amount and she briefly saw two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slamed back down.

‘Good grief, did you see that?’ she asked her husband.
He hadn’t, so she asked him to look in the pot.

He reached for it and again the lid rose, and he saw two beady little eyes looking around again before it firmly slamed back down.

Rather perturbed he called the waiter over, explained what was happening and demanded an explanation.

‘Well sir’, said the waiter, ‘What did you order?’
‘We both chose the same’, he replied, ‘the Chicken Surprise’
‘Oh I do apologize, this is my fault’ said the waiter…

…I’ve brought you the Peking Duck’
