He disguises > himself, goes to the restaurant, and gets a table. The place is a beehive of > activity--tables filled, waiters coming and going. > A waiter soon comes to our friend's table to take his order. As he's giving > his order, the owner notices a spoon in the waiter's breast pocket. > "Why do you have a spoon in your pocket?" he asks. > "Oh, that's the efficiency expert's idea," replies the waiter. "You see, > customers often need an extra spoon for their meal, and the waiter's station > is in the back of the restaurant. By carrying a spoon in our pockets, we > save time and serve the customers better." > The owner thought about this, and was pleased with the change in attitude. > As the waiter turned to go, the owner stopped him again. > "Excuse me, but I notice that you have a piece of string hanging out of your > fly," he said to the waiter. > "Oh, that's the efficiency expert's idea, too," the waiter replied. "You > see, we often have to use the restroom during our shift, and state law > requires that we wash our hands every time we go to the bathroom. By using > the string, I don't have to touch myself, so I don't have to wash my hands. > This saves a lot of time." > "Well," said the owner, "I can see how you get it out with the string, but > how do you put it back?" > "Well sir," said the waiter, "I don't know about the other waiters, but I use > my spoon." >
