“A web developer left a restaurant before ordering because he hated the menus” (joke)

A restaurant’s menu is different from a computer’s menu. A comic was posted on comic.browserling.com on September 9, 2015, showing a web developer looking at a restaurant’s menu and with this caption:

“A web developer left a restaurant before ordering because he hated the menus. They were fold-outs and he prefers drop-downs.”

Wikipedia: Menu
In a restaurant, a menu is a list of food and beverage offered to the customer. A menu may be à la carte – which guests use to choose from a list of options – or table d’hôte, in which case a pre-established sequence of courses is served.

Wikipedia: Menu (computing)
In computing and telecommunications, a menu is a list of options or commands presented to the user of a computer or communications system. A menu may either be a system’s entire user interface, or only part of a more complex one.
