This Guy \(/as Particular
He came into a baker shop and said to the baker:
"Tomorrow is my birthday. f want you to make me a birthday cake. I want just a medium-sized, white cake, covered with white icing. And on the top of the cake I want you to put in pink icing rny first name 'Otto'. And I want the lettering of that word to be in old English lettering."
The baker said O.K., the price would be a dollar and a half and the cake would be ready the next morning.
The next morning the customer carne into the bakery, and they showed him the cake. He paid:'
"It's a beautiful and delicious looking cake. And I really hate to kick about it. But I can't take it. There's been a great and serious mistake made. I told you that the name on the top must be done in Old English lettering, and you've done it in Old Roman. And I can't possibly accept it that way. It's important; in fact, it's vital, that the lettering of that name be in Old English."
"You are correct," said the baker, "and the fault is mine. I remember that you DID specify Old English, and I turned the order in wrong. But I'll have it re-topped at once, and have it done exactly as you want it, and if you will come back in two hours it will be ready, and I guarantee that it will be satisfactory."
So the customer came back at noon, and the cake was ready. "That's beautiful," he said, "asd I'm very much pleased. That name in pink icing is done in the most perfect Old English lettering now, and it is just exactly right. Thank you very much for doing it so well."
And he paid for the cake. Then the baker said:
"Shall we deliver it for you, or will you take it along with you?"
"Oh, don't bother," said the custom€r, EAT IT RIGHT HERE.''
