A Nut in my Soup

A man is sitting in a restaurant eating a thirty-copeck bowl of soup.

Suddenly he fishes an iron nut out of the bowl. The indignant customer demands to see the head cook. Out comes the head cook.

'What's this?' asks the man angrily, indicating the nut.

'An iron nut,' replies the head cook.

'Why is there an iron nut in the soup?' fumes the customer.

'What do you expect for thirty-copecks,' says the head cook, 'a whole tractor?'
