A Man And His Wife Go On A Date

They are seated and after browsing the menu they both decide

to order the soup of the day. When the waiter brings their

soup the man knocks his spoon on the floor. “Whoops,” he

says and turns to the waiter, “I’m terribly sorry but

could I have another.” The waiter whips a fresh spoon out

of his top pocket. “Here you are, Sir.” Says the waiter,

handing him the spoon. “Oh, thank you,” says the man a

little surprised. The couple tuck into their soups, chit

chatting about the wonderful service and how delicious the

soup is. The man glances around the restaurant and notices

all the waiters have a spoon sticking out of their top

pockets curious about the spoons he beckons the waiter back

over. “Is everything to your liking, Sir?” asks the

waiter. “Oh, yes, it’s wonderful, thank you, I was just

curious as to why all the waiters are carrying a spoon in

each of their top pockets.” “Very observant, Sir.

Statistically spoons are the most dropped utensil so to save

time we all carry a spoon in our pockets.” “That’s

very clever, thank you.” The waiter returns to the kitchen

and the man turns back to his soup. After a few more sips he

is looking around the room again and notices the all the

waiters have a short piece of string hanging out of the fly

on their trousers. He gestures again for the waiter who

returns to the table. “Anything I can do for you, Sir?”

“Just another question, if you don’t mind,” says the

man with genuine curiosity. “I notice all the waiters have

a piece of string hanging out of their fly, what is the

reason behind that?” “Well, Sir, to be perfectly honest

the string is tied to the t**l so when we go to the bathroom

one can just pull it out with the string and eliminate the

need to wash ones hands, thus saving more time.”

“Interesting,” says the man. A look of slight confusion

crosses his face and he adds, “But what about when you

need to put it away?” “Well, Sir,” says the waiter,

leaning in conspiratorially, “Personally I use the

spoon.”
