I may have gotten this from UHH originally so my apologies to whoever posted it before but it (IMO) is worth repeating.

An elderly couple went to a Chinese restaurant one evening. As they looked over the menu the woman mentioned there was a dish called Chicken Surprise. The husband told her by all means to try it if she liked, he would stay with his favorite, General Tso's Chicken.
The waiter came over and the couple gave him their order. Some time later, their meals arrived. The Chicken Surprise was presented in a dish covered with a metal dome. As the wife reached for the cover, it lifted up and two beady eyes looked out and the lid slammed down. The woman jumped back and exasperated, told her husband what had happened. He looked skeptical but also reached for the lid. As he did, it once again lifted and two beady eyes peered out, then the lid once again closed.
The husband called the waiter over and explained what had happened. The waiter looked at the order sheet and said "So sorry, I see you did order the Chicken Surprise, and I brought you Peking Duck".

It’s a groaner, but it got a laugh out of me.

I recall seing a cartoon, many years ago in a Playboy Magazine, along this very line. The dome was lifted from inside by two or three feathers with a duck bill and two eyes showing under the dome's edge. The customer excaimed to the waiter, "I distinctly ordered Peking Duck."
