TWO SPOONS
We noticed that all the waiters in this New
York
restaurant carried two spoons in their vest
pocket. Naturally, we were curious. We asked
a
waiter why.
'Sir, as a result of an efficiency study by the
management, it was determined that the most
frequently dropped silverware item was a
spoon.
-
Therefore, all the waiters carry two spoons so
that the item can be instantly replaced.'
As he was explaining that we noticed a string
hanging out of the fly of his pants. So, we
asked
about that.
'Sir, that's another efficiency study result.
When we have to go to the bathroom, we use
the
string to pull ourselves out and aim. Therefore,
we do not have to stop to wash our hands.'
We replied, 'I understand how you can get
yourself
out and aim, but how do you get yourself back
in.'
'Well,' replied the waiter, 'I don't know about
the other guys, but I use the two spoons!'
