Someone found a way to make that joke funny! I did not believe it possible.
I know lots of waiters jokes of various severity levels. This was as severe as I got with couples who were happily imbibing. If they'd ask me for something I would tell them this joke.
"Did you ever hear about the fastest waiter of all time, he would anticipate your requests almost before they happened? Well, a lady dropped her spoon on the floor, and before she could open her mouth, her waiter was present and whipped a spoon out of his apron. The lady was like "Oh my gosh thank you!" So they observed him for a while. He was like the Pinball Wizard of waiting tables. Even the ba
throom, especially that, he was in an out in a jiffy. Well the couple became intrigued. They called him over and said, "You do everything so fast! Like even the ba
throom how do you do it?" The waiter explained, "That's easy sir and ma'am. See, I attach a string to my fly so I can get it up and down easily and then I can go without touching anything, and I don't even need to wash my hands." There was a pause, and the gentleman inquired hesitantly, "How do you..... get it in and out...??"" The waiter replied, "That's easy, I use my spoon."
Yep. You gotta know your audience though or you could get fired. I am here to tell you, I will NOT discuss the practices of restaurants from the bottom (Bob Evans) to the top (Some high clout wine bistro in Georgetown.) I liked working front and back of house, mainly because you get to know the chef, so they yell less when you give them their customers abnormal requests at the height of rush hour.
I will say this. If it still remotely resembles the dish you ordered and can be reassembled, the ten second rule most definitely applies. Not gonna say more. LOL.
