A restaurant in Denver, Colorado in the United States called "Tom's Diner" has decided to put an end to its customers' nagging questions and start charging them with any questions.
A few weeks ago, a social networking user Reddit posted a picture of an account from the restaurant that showed a charge for mashed potatoes, a turkey sandwich and one stupid question. Of course, surfers and social networks have been buzzing about the entertaining venture and wondering if this is a wait for the waiters or a real idea over time.

This wonder led one of the city's television networks to contact the restaurant manager to see if it was a mistake. For his part, he said, "Because it's not cheating at all, our menu really has a 38-cent charge for silly questions. It's meant to instill a bit of fun on our diners who laugh at this menu. Very important in our serious world is a bit of nonsense."
The manager, Hunter Landry, also added that the restaurant "charges this bill only when there is a good mood with diners who then see this line and deliberately start asking stupid questions. The most common questions are whether there is water in our ice cream and whether to pay for our turkey sandwich."
And that's not the only joke line on the restaurant's menu. Under the heading Healthy Meals appears a "dish" with the advice: Skip your meal, it's very healthy and another "dish" suggests: Have you eaten in a restaurant? Now go home on foot.
"Everything here is part of our desire for people to enjoy life a little bit," Landry concluded.
