Talking gibberish (Posted on 2003-02-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A guy walks into a restaurant. Half an hour later the waiter hands him a bill. The guy immediately says:

"102004180"

The waiter being a rather smart chap, waitering only because of the recession, immediately understood what he meant... but do you?

This one is a play on the sounds of the words. What the customer actually said was " One ought to owe nothing for one ate nothing". Just try saying 102004180 pronouncing the first 0 as "nought", the second 0 as "Oh" , the third 0 and fourth 0 as "nothing".
