Age not guaranteed---Some I have told for 20 years---Some Less

This Guy Wos Porticulor

fle came into a baker shop and said to the baker:

"Tomorrow is my birthday. I want you to make me a birthday cake. I want just a medium-sized white cake, covered with white icing. And on the top of the cake I want you to put in pink icing my first name-OTTO. And I want the name to be in Old English lettering."

The baker said okay, the price would be a dollar and a half, and the cake would be ready at noqn the next day. The next morning this customer came in, and they showed him the cake. He said:

"It's a beautiful cake, and I really hate to kick about it. But I can't take it. There's been a serious mistake made. I told you that the name on top of the cake must be done in Old English lettering, and you've done it in Old Roman. f can't possibly accept it that way. It's not only important but it's vital that the lettering must be in Old English."

"You are correct," said the baker, regretfully, "and the fault is rnine. I remember you DID specify Old English lettering, and I turned the order in wrong. I'll have it re-topped at onct, and have it'donp exactly as you want it, and if you will come back in two hours it will be ready, and I guarantee that it will be satisfactory."

So the customer came back two hours later, and the cake was ready. "That's beautiful," he said, "and I am very much pleased. That name in pink icing is done in perfect Old English, and I appreciate it very much indeed."

"How do you want it wrapped?" asked the pleased baker.

"Oh, don't bother," said the particular customer, "I'M GOING TO EAT IT RIGHT HERE!''
