“Waiter: How do you like your steak cooked? Me: Like winning an argument with my wife.”

A restaurant joke was posted on Twitter by Provocotive Sloth on October 9, 2018:

waiter: how do u like your steak cooked
me: like winning an argument with my gf
waiter: rare it is

The joke has been printed on many images, but usually with ”wife” instead of ”girlfriend.”
