OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept. ...
An elderly gentleman goes to a diner
every day for lunch ... He always
orders the soup du jour ... One day
the manager asks him how he liked his
meal.
The old man replies, -"It was good,
but you could give a little more
-
bread."
So the next day the manager tells
the waitress to give him four slices of
bread "How was your meal, sir?"
the manager asks ... "It was good, but
you could give a little more bread,"
came the reply.
So the next day the manager tells
the waitress to give him eight slices of
bread ... "How was your meal, sir?"
the manager asks ... "It was good, but
you could give a little more bread."
So ... the next day the manager tells
the waitress to give him a whole loaf
of bread with his soup ... "How was
your meal, sir?" the manager asks,
when *he comes to pay ... "It was good,
but you could give just a little more
bread," came the reply once again.
The manager is now obsessed with
seeing this customer say that he is sat-
isfied with his meal, so he goes to the
bakery and orders a six-foot-long loaf
of bread ... When the man comes in as
usual the next day, the waitress and
the manager cut the loaf in half, butter
the entire length of each half, and lay
it out along the counter, right next to
his bowl of soup ... The old man sits
down, and devours both his bowl of
soup, and both halves of the six-foot-
long loaf of bread.
The manager now thinks he will get
the answer he is looking for, and when
the old man comes up to pay for his
meal, the manager asks in the usual way,
"How was your meal TODAY, sir?"
The old man replies, "It was good as
usual, but I see you are back to giving
only two slices of bread!"

Because it's not polite to talk back to
