The Steak

A diner orders the steak he cannot afford, choosing a taste of the unknown over everything he already knows.

“We have some Specials on tonight. On the mains we have a Lobster Linguini specialty of the Chef.”

Oh I think I already know what I want.

“Would you like to start with some drinks?”

Sure bring me what I know.

“And what would that be?”

Oh you know.

“My apologies sir I don’t think I do.”

You must.

“I do not.”

Okay the Spanish Cerveza looks great.

“It’ll be right out!”

Oh and waiter… may I ask one more thing?

“of course sir.”

For my main course, I’d like the Steak I can’t afford.

“Im not sure I understand”

Anything I can afford I know. The thing I cannot I do not. I’d like that Steak please. A bit of the Unknown tonight.

“Coming right up sir.”
