“I went to a German restaurant and ordered an omelette. I just got a plate with two dots on it!”

“Omelette” shouldn’t be confused with “umlaut,” but there are jokes.

I went to a German restaurant yesterday, the waiter brought me a plate with a letter ‘O’ with two dots above it.
I said: ” No, I asked for an omelette…”

I was eating in a German restaurant. When my food was delivered, all the plate had on it was two black dots.
I said to the waiter: “No, I ordered an omelet…”

Bah. I just went to a German restaurant for breakfast. When my food turned up, all the plate had on it was two black dots. I said to the waiter “No! I asked for an omelette.”

Saw this thought it was great? I was in a German restaurant; when my order turned up, all the plate had on it was two black dots. I said to the waiter “No! I asked for an omelette.”... (An umlaut is the two dots that appear over some vowels)
