I once tried to order a cake that said, "This Cake Intentionally Left Blank."

The conversation with the bakery person felt much like an Abbott and 
Costello routine:

"What do you want the cake to say?"

"This Cake Intentionally Left Blank."

"So you want a blank cake?"

"No"

"So, what do you want it to say?"

"This Cake Intentionally Left Blank."

"So, you don't want any words on the cake."

"No, I do."

...

Picking up the cake was basically a repeat of the conversation.

"I'm here to pick up a custom cake"

"Oh, ok. What did it say?"

"This cake intentionally left blank."

"So, it was a blank cake?"
