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.”
