Good story

One well-known Moscow restaurant advertised itself as follows: "Here you can order any dish of the world! And if your desire is not fulfilled, you will be entitled for free dinner! »
 The chef of this restaurant was so ingenious that could easily give out for the alligator veal and chicken for the frog and so on. Therefore, for a long time nobody has been able to dine "on darmovschinu." But once the cheerful company, apparently bribed competitors, deliberately ordered "fried in breadcrumbs elephant's ear." The calculation was simple: an elephant ear replaced with something hard, it's very specific. And although the "dish" was clearly invented, but according to advertising it should be prepared to accept defeat or restaurant. - Today, everyone will know that we have elephant ears, tomorrow someone invents camel's tail, the next day something else - worried director of the restaurant - we ruin his reputation! You need to make sure that everyone thought like elephant ears and other things we have in abundance, but, nevertheless, for any reason, we can not apply them ... and say this is necessary so that others did not learn anything!
 This operation is instructed to hold the head waiter. He went to the cheerful company, which saw an aperitif while waiting for the order, and asked:
 - I'm sorry, but the chef at a loss: the ear of the elephant you ordered? African or Indian? There is an African succulent ear.
 The company said after a little hesitation: African.
 After some time, the maitre d 'went back to him:
 - I'm sorry, but ...
 - What, no ears? - Joyfully exclaimed guests.
 - No, really, the ears as you like, but it should be clarified: ear elephant or elephant? Far cry! Like a rooster and a hen! Even meat is different!
 Resolved: let it be the African elephant ear.
 When the maitre d 'after a long period of time appeared again, all were convinced that he now concedes restaurant kitchen. However, the maitre d 'again addressed the guests with specification:
 - Right or left ear?
 So he kept the guests for several hours, waiting to rest dispersed audience: if you surrender it without witnesses.
And finally, when it was in the restaurant anyone except fans of roasted ears left, the maitre d 'said ruefully: - Gentlemen, you can dine at the expense of restaurants. - Ah, still no ears! - Happy guests.
 - What are you - smiled maitre d '- this material - as you want, but you have ordered "fried right ear of the African elephant in breadcrumbs." We unfortunately ran out of crackers! ..
