The price of our motel room includes a ‘free breakfast’ of hot waffles. Only thing is, you have to make the waffles yourself. Here’s how:

There are two waffle irons in the lobby of the hotel, and a table with cups of batter. You pour one cup into each iron, close the thing shut, and then look puzzled as the iron machine thingie starts beeping as if it were reversing.

Then, the motel manager comes out from behind the counter and slaps you on the back, jokingly asking you to wake up, as he turns each iron over because that’s what the beeping is trying to tell you to do. As soon as he does that, the LED screen on each iron counts down from two minutes.

After a minute or so, the motel manager starts laughing, and you turn around to see why.

Then he says to you, “Man, I should take a picture of you guys staring at the thing, cos it looks like the longest two minutes of your lives.”

Then the thing beeps again, and you’re embarrassed enough to know what to do now - you open the waffle irons, take out the waffles, pour syrup on them, then eat them quickly and retreat back to your room.
