Bavarian cream pie (from comedians in cars getting coffee)

A soldier in World War II is in Germany at the end of the war and eats a piece of bavarian cream pie at a cafe. It's the best thing he's ever tasted.

He goes on about his life. Gets married, has a family, raises children, retires. His wife dies. He gets diagnosed with cancer. He has a few months to live. He's accomplished everything in life, and his only desire is to have one more piece of that bavarian cream pie.

So he books passage on an ocean liner. The liner sinks. He gets on a lifeboat. it runs out of air. He swims. gets practically eaten alive by sharks- they take his arms and legs. He lands on the beach in France. he crawls through France to Germany. He gets to the cafe. Wiggles his way onto a stool.

The waitress comes over and tries to take his order. He orders the bavarian cream pie. She says she just sold the last piece. He says "I'll have peach instead."

Ali Wentworth's proposed better punchline: "I'll just have a cup of coffee."
