Living on an Island in Isolation - You May Experience This! (Comedy Open Mic Round 4)
Background: We live in the Philippines on an island and have our favorite places to eat. And even so, one thing that is very common where we live is that ANYTHING on any given day can be out-of-stock (including customer service and the occasional thought process).
"The Omelet"
We placed our order for breakfast at the counter and paid for it at the same time. We took our seats and waited for our coffee. After about a ten minute wait, the young waitress approached our table and says "I'm sorry sir, but Ham and Cheese Omelets are out of stock today." In over two years, this is the first time I have ever been told that something as simple as an egg omelet was not available.
So with a bit of curious excitement, I questioned her... "What do you mean out-of-stock? Do you have eggs?" "Yes sir" she replied. "Do you have Ham?" I asked. "Yes Po" she politely replied. "How about onions and cheese?" "Yes Po, we have those things." Frustrated, I then asked "Well if you have all those things, how can omelets be out-of-stock?" In all seriousness and with a saddened face she replied "But sir, we have no Mushrooms!"
I don't even like mushrooms!

I would have said "Omelette you make me an omelette, even if you don't have mushrooms."
I did say that, though not so much in those same words! 😋
