A man walked into a restaurant. The restaurant advertised it had the 46 menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how 47 it was.
At the bottom of the 48 , there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you need on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu right away.”
The man 49 the menu and decided to make sure if it was true. He would order 50 that was very unusual.

The waiter made an apology (道歉).
“I’m very sorry, sir, and this is the 55 embarrassing,” he said, “but I’m afraid we can’t because we’ve run out of bread.”
