Amphiboly

Which is an amphiboly that was found in a notebook last night

We took a course once. Prof. Hirsch offered up this sentence as an example of amphiboly.

Zen Buddhist monk to hot dog vendor, "Make me one with everything."

Good good. Does the joke end here?

One faintly remembers there is a punchline... the monk hands the vendor a 20 dollar bill and asks for change. The vendor replies, "Change must come from within".
