Across the street, a neon sign:
"All You Can Eat For $1.99"
Ah, this old stew is the baddest in the land,
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand.
Sometimes… sometimes bad is bad.

EDIT: Typos. Freaking typos. They are the bane of my existence.

The version that I heard was that after eating two plates of food, the restaurant owner told the customer to get up and leave. When the customer responded with, “I thought it was ‘all you can eat for $1.99’…??” the restaurant owner responded with, “well… That IS ALL you can eat for $1.99”, then, the Bohemian dwarf entered the front door - blatting on his rotary E-flat sousaphone…

bloke “…or something like that…(??)”

Walzenventile. Same as on the Kaiser I have.

Pricing on this particular horn is highly optimistic.

I recall this being the punchline of a Blondie (Dagwood in the diner) or Frank and Ernest cartoon. I did a search but couldn't find it. Found this one instead.
