<B>Patron:</B> Waiter!<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems
to be the problem?<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> There's a fly in my soup!<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> No, it's still there.<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> A SOUP bowl!<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> The current Soup of the Day is tomato.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I'm running late now.<BR>
[waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check]<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> This is potato soup.<BR>
<B>Waiter:</B> Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.<BR>
[waiter leaves.]<BR>
<B>Patron:</B> Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!<P>
