Funny Waiter Joke

As long as I intend to make fun of a wide spectrum of people, I might as well include restaurant workers. I warn you beforehand this is not just a groaner or an 'Ouch,' but more like an Arrrrggghhhh!

I visited New York recently for a conference. Afterwards, four of us went to dinner at a very well-known restaurant. We had reservations and were conducted to a table in a corner of the room. So far everything was perfect. We all ordered dinner.

While we were waiting for our meals, I noticed that all the servers in this expensive restaurant carried two spoons in their uniform vest pocket. That was very strange, so I asked our waiter what was the reason for the spoons.

Caesar, our waiter explained, "Recently, the management conducted a time and motion efficiency study and discovered that the most frequently dropped piece of silverware was a spoon. Therefore, all the waiters are now required to carry two spoons in their vest pocket so that they can instantly replace a dropped spoon.”

As he was explaining this new requirement, I couldn’t help but notice that a narrow black string about 6 inches long was hanging out of the front of his pants. How curious! So, of course, not being shy, I mentioned it.

Caesar said, "That's the result of another efficiency study. When I have to go to the bathroom, I use this string to pull myself out and aim. This saves time since I don't have to stop to wash my hands."

I was shocked by this revelation so I said, "I understand how you can get yourself out and aim, but how in heaven’s name do you get yourself back in?"

"Well," replied Caesar, "I don't know about the other guys, but I use the two spoons!"
