Birthday Disappointment

Because it was my brother’s birthday, our mom wanted to do something 
special. She called his fraternity house and said she wanted to bring a 
cake. The young man who took the call was very excited. "Hey, Mrs. 
Schaeffer," he said, "that would be great!"

The next day she drove to the fraternity and rang the doorbell. The same 
boy answered the door. When he saw the cake, his face fell. "Oh," he 
said, clearly disappointed. "I thought you said ‘a keg.’"
