1 funny sign

I saw a sign today and it made me laugh!

I doubt it will appear as funny to anyone else, but I shall attempt to explain myself.

The sign was in a greasy spoon style cafe just off London Road. Never been in there as I have chosed Tiffanies as my cafe and to go elsewhere would be tantamount to vandalism. Having said that the mighty Tiffs has recently changed hands and is not as good so I may be on the look out for a new breakfast eatery.

AS I walked past the cafe I looked in with interest, as one often does, to view the undesirables, down and outs and simple folk that frequent such places (I count myself to be one of these and hence enjoy such cafe's myself). I then noticed the window was littered with printed signs advertising their breakfast wares. The signs read:

ALL DAY BREAKFAST.
OPTION 1
1 Egg
1 Bacon
1 Sausage
1 Mushroom
1 Tomato
1 Toast
1 Tea/Coffee

It doesn't seem as funny when typed by my fair fingers, but apart from sausage and perhaps egg most of them are daft! So I will get 1 bacon with my breakfast will I? What does 1 bacon involve? As for 1 mushroom and 1 tomato I have no idea if I actually get just the one, but if so I would send my hang over cure back post haste. 1 Toast is a dafty too as is that one half, one full piece or what?

It amused me anyhow, using singular to describe the plural...whatever next!
