A fine-looking gentleman sat down in the main dining room of an expensive
restaurant. He ordered a big dinner and spent an hour enjoying himself. After he
was given the check, he summoned the headwaiter. “Ah, my friend,” he said, “that
was a delicious meal! Perhaps you don’t remember that I was a guest at this same
table just about a year ago. And at that time I couldn’t pay the check, so you,
sir had me thrown out in full view of all the other diners and thrown into the
gutter just as if I were a bum!” “I am so sorry, sir” said the head waiter.
“But, you understand-” “Oh it’s quite all right!” interrupted the gentleman, but
I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you again.”
