Consultants
 

Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?" "Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and
save 15 man-hours per shift."

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare. "I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now." I was impressed.

I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?" "Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of you know what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent.

I asked "After you get it out, how do you put it back?"

"Well," he whispered, "I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon."

Good One, PDad! :rofl: :lmao:

and, Black, that's one of the best hijacks I've seen recently! The joke was good though...

I'm sorry!! I didnt realize I hijacked anything. I just thought since someone started a post on Jokes, I would just add one. Isnt that how it goes? I dunno :?: :?: :?:

You know, it's the lounge and the rules are a little more flex from my experience. Unless PDad objects, I would guess it to be OK. Sometimes threads just go like that. Other times no.

Anyway, I was just busting your chops...lol. ;)

I know, I just dont wanna step on anyones toes. Sometimes I sit here and think and think some more, and then go back to edit and then re-think and then re-edit.....you dont know how many posts I have started to reply to then just ended up deleting them since none of it made any sense after I REALLY thought about it. Just look at my posts........almost all of them are edited LMAO.............

I have to say though, I found the "preview" button and am learning how to use it :)
