Serving My Customers

You might recall my adventures in the company cafeteria. Well today I went down for food and when it was my turn I said to the cafeteria worker, "roast beef".

He looks up, recognizes me, smiles broadly and says, "hey you have to say the whole thing!".

But this time the menu just said roast beef. Not "Roast Beef Medallions garnished with parsley and stewed with fried okra". And I was tired and couldn't think of an embellishment. So I said, "well I thought that joke might be getting old."

"No, it makes my day!"

I melted. I have a mission.
