Dad Jokes Are Bigger In Texas

My family and I have just finished dinner while on a road trip.

Waitress: “Can I get you guys any desserts? We do a real good pie.”

Me: “Oh, the pie sounds nice, but no cream, please.”

Waitress: “Oh, but you gotta get the cream! It’s actually illegal not to have cream with pie in Texas!”

Me: “Wait, really?”

Waitress: “It’s a matter of Texan pride! Remember the à la mode!”

There is a brief moment of silence before my wife and I break into a strained guffaw.

Me: “Okay, we have to get the pie after that!”

I couldn’t get the cream because of lactose intolerance, but the waitress got me some lactose-free alternative, so I was able to have my Alamo Pie without breaking any Texan laws!
