When Barry returned, Timothy was still seething with anger. Barry sat down sniggling with amusement. 'If Timothy wants to play the game, I will hit back tenfold,' he thought.
The waitress returned and said, "Mr Timothy, the total bill is $52000 dollars. Half of this is $26000, please make your payment."
Timothy was sweating. 'How is this possible? I only have $20000.'
"Madam, why is the bill so high?" Timothy gathered the courage to ask.
"Oh, you said you wanted the very best of everything. The dishes cost $24000, the dessert cost $11000 and the wine cost $17000, that's $52000 sir. Will you pay by cash or card?"
Susan and her husband were baffled hearing the price.
