Restaurant Hygiene The Shire President and his wife one night went to dine To a restaurant which was supposedly high class, The wife gazed in admiration on surroundings quite fine, While the young waiter filled each one’s crystal glass. The wife was observant as she looked at the young man And noticed in his top pocket he carried a spoon, Then perceiving that the other waiters all did the same Thought, it must be a rule from which none are immune. She then asked the young waiter just why it was so, He quickly responded that it was to save them all time, More spoons were dropped on the floor as most diners know And having a replacement at the ready was policy sublime. Dropping her spoon shortly after in an act bona-fide Just as her tasty dessert she had started to eat, But within moments the waiter was there at her side Replacing it from his pocket so she could continue her treat She smiled her approval but as he turned to leave She noticed from his fly hung a short piece of string, Unable to contain her curiosity at what it might conceive She said to the young man what a most unusual thing. Again he responded that time had its demands For he always used it when to the urinal he went, Because it then saved him the time of washing his hands And a little more time in the restaurant was spent. With slight embarrassment but with no wish to demean, To the waiter her intrigue she sought to impugn But how do you put away the, you know what I mean, He quickly responded, I put it away with the spoon. |

Thank you, LP, for providing the answers to questions that I have had when dining out. Next time, I will jerk the string right out of the waiter's pants and when he bends down to pick it up, the spoon will fall out of his pocket and onto the floor ~ at which point, I will offer him a clean one from my table ~ That way, I'll be protecting unsuspecting diners by courtesy of your informative poem!  Loves 'n Laughs, Linda  |
