Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and told them, "You can't eat your own sandwiches in here!"
The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and then exchanged sandwiches.
Ice cream coneIn 1904, by some narratives, the edible ice cream cone was first sold by Charles E. Menches of Akron, Ohio, at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis World's Fair). He was a vendor on The Ten Million Dollar Pike, a 90-ft-wide, mile-long, brick-paved midway full of extravagant attractions, rides, amusements and food stands. Although Menches is often named as the first to serve his ice cream in a rolled waffle cone, its true originator is far from clear. The edible cone was widely sold at the fair, and various other people there are also claimed as the innovator. In 1903, Italo Marchiony held a U.S. patent (No. 746,971) for a mold to bake ice cream cups. By 8 Jun 1909 Mendes held his own patent (U.S. No. 924484) for a “Baking Iron for Ice-Cream Cones” using batter to make flat circular waffles to form into cones.« |
