A guy in a diner orders a glass of sweet tea. “No ice,” he tells the waitress. “I’d like it room temperature.”

A few minutes later the waitress brings the guy his tea. He takes a sip and burns his mouth.

“What the hell!” he yells. “This is scorching hot. I wanted this room temperature.”

And the waitress says, “It is room temperature, sir. The kitchen is on fire.”
