The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a café table working. A waitress approached him.
"Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?" she asked.
"Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream," the philosopher replied.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned and said,
"I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?"
