A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise.'

The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife is about to serve herself,

The lid of the pot rises slightly

And she briefly sees two beady little eyes

Looking around

Before the lid slams back own.

'GOOD GRIEF, DID YOU SEE THAT?'

She asks her husband.

He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot.

He reaches for it and again the lid rises,

And he sees

TWO LITTLE EYES

LOOKING AROUND

Before it slams down.

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening

And demands an explanation.

'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you order?'

The husband replies,

'Chicken Surprise.'

“Ah! So solly,”

Says the waiter,

Good joke - but yes, it is important to include the punchline / proof-read before you post.

Don't worry - we all make mistakes.

Peeking duck. yeah, copied and pasted an email.

Ooops

I think it's because we all know it that he left out the punch-line!

maybe all jokes should be posted without punch lines then we all have to guess them or make them up.
