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.

OMG!

I actually hate eating out because I have seen on America's Funniest Videos what they think is funny to do in some very "famous" kitchens. BUT...this takes the spoon.

I love your sense of humor.
