Order by numbers

Me (gazing up at the menu):
"I'll have the articoke, ham, spinach, and mozzarella roll-up"

Gentleman behind the counter:
"That's an old menu - here, order off this"

Me (reading "new" menu):
"I'll have #50 - prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and basil roll-up"

Gentleman:
"$6.71 please."

1 minute later

Gentleman:
"We are out of proscuitto"

Me (reading "new" menu, discovering the strangely familiar #40 - the artichoke, ham, spinach, and mozzarella roll-up":

"I'll have #40 - the artichoke, ham, spinach, and mozzarella roll-up"

5 minutes later

Gentleman:
"Here you go! Thank you."
