Huh?

What would your reaction be, if you came to know that the "fish curry meal" so neatly advertised in a restaurant's menu does not actually include the fish? It comes with only rice and curry. Its upto you to decide whether to order fish separately or not. Huh??? Exactly!! Thats what my reaction was, when I heard this from the waiter at the place I went to, for dinner tonight. I was about to blast him off into the deep confines of space for trying to keep a Bong away from his fish, when my friend stepped in and tried to explain the situation. "Its written here buddy 'Fish curry meal' and not "Fish and curry meal'", he said. Ha Ha!! Very funny. I finally relented and we agreed to take some other dishes which would actually have FISH in them. But, thats not all. He went on to add that  the prices mentioned in the menu, are not applicable anymore. Its been hiked. Come on' Have mercy on us... Reductions and freezes are in vogue nowadays.. Aren't you guys tuned into whats happening globally. How can you increase prices in the days of a 'global economic depression'. The situation was so bad, that we had to go into cost sutting mode and skip the appetizers. We were more than happy to atleast get something to eat and call it a dinner.
