Went to a local restaurant last night for dinner

Had the same meal as always, sirloin steak with Japanese side dishes of sushi and the like. Good meal, a couple of bottle's of beer, the enjoyment of my wife's company.

When the bill came it listed a T-Bone steak at twice the price of a sirloin.

I pointed this out to the waitress (new at this particular establishment and judging by her age not a new-comer to the service industry but Thai language only).

The waitress said that I must be mistaken; I had definitely eaten a

T-Bone. I told her that it was definitely a sirloin. She said "no, definitely a T-Bone, I served it to you, I should know". I then asked her where the bone was, and she replied "you must have eaten it sir".

By this time my wife and I were in hysterics. We called the owner over, who is a personal friend, and quickly remedied the situation.
