“Waiter: Be careful, the plate is really hot. Diner: No worries. I’m not really attracted to plates”

When a waiter says that a plate is “hot,” that doesn’t mean that a plate is sexually attractive. “The plate wasn’t hot enough. Personally i’m never sexually attracted to plates #masterchef” was posted on Twitter on March 21, 2013.

A joke was posted on Twitter on October 12, 2015:

Waitress: Careful, that plate is hot!
Dad: It’s okay, I’m not attracted to plates.
