Mushrooms

A year or two ago, when stores had little food on the shelves, a group of people went to a restaurant. At those times, you didn’t get a menu and order off it; the waiter told you what food was available, and you ordered from those options. That evening, the waiter said they had grilled mushrooms and mushroom soup. Fair enough. Everyone in the group ordered one or the other, or both. About 10 minutes later, the waiter returned with a rueful expression and said: “We are out of mushrooms.”
