Restaurant Gag

A guy is sitting in a Silver Service type restaurant, waiting for his date to arrive. He's already feeling a bit hungry and so asks the waiter to bring him an entree bowl of soup.

"Right away Sir..."

In no time at all the waiter is back with the soup.

"That was fast... thanks!"

Searching through the selection of cutlery he finds a spoon, but then fumbles it and it falls on the floor

"Allow me Sir"

The waiter pulls a folded napkin out of his jacket pocket and inside is another spoon for the man. He is pretty impressed by this stage...

"That's amazing! Do you just carry a spare spoon all the time?" he asks, taking a big slurp of the hot soup.

"Ah yes Sir. The restaurant management has found the spoon to be the most commonly dropped piece of silverware. We each carry a spare to save time on the trip back to the kitchen

He looks around, and the man is right. All of the waiting staff carry the same folded napkin in their front pocket, with the silver spoon poking out the top. He glances back and smiles, then notices another oddity. A small piece of string hanging out from the waiters' pants zipper. The man goes to say something, then looks around and sees the rest of the waiters also have the string. He continues his soup, wondering. Eventually he cannot resist, and quietly asks his waiter...

"I've just noticed, you fellas all have a piece of string poking out the top of your fly. Whats that about?"

"Of course Sir. The restaurant management has determined a large amount of time is spent washing hands after a restroom break. We use the string to keep the whole process hands free, if you'll pardon the expression"

Fascinated by this practical approach, the man ponders the waiters' words for a second, taking another big slurp.

"I don't mean to be nosy but, when your finished, how do ya get it back in?"

"A good question Sir" The waiter leans in and in a hushed voice: "I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon..."
