An older man comes into a restaurant, sits at his usual table, and orders the usual matzo ball soup.<\/p>\n
The waiter sets it down in front of him and stands back to watch him enjoy it. But the man just sits there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there something wrong?\u201d the waiter asks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t eat this soup,\u201d the man replies.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it too hot?\u201d the waiter asks.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToo cold?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToo salty?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
The waiter calls for the maitre d\u2019, and for the chef, and each goes through the same routine: \u201cToo hot?\u201d \u201cToo cold?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, no no.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man tried to work out what was the huge problem that was stopping the man from eating his soup when finally the chief, at his wit\u2019s end, says, \u201cSir, I will taste the soup myself. Where is the spoon?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA-ha! That would be the problem!\u201d Says the man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
