He grabs a handful of peanuts from the bowl on
the counter
by the cash register while he's waiting for his
order, and
as he starts to chew he hears a voice say, "That's
a
beautiful tie, is that silk? Very NICE choice!"
Wondering who would make such a strange comment,
he looks
around and doesn't see anyone near him who could've
been
speaking to him. With a shrug, he pops a few
more peanuts
into his mouth.
Next he hears a voice, "Those shoes are stylin',
my man.
Are they Italian leather? They look GRRREAT!"
He whirls around to again but sees no one near
him. He
glances nervously around and then at his shoes,
which he
tucks self-consciously under the stool.
A little wierded out, he grabs another handful
of peanuts.
This time the voice continues with, "That suit
looks
FANTASTIC! Is it an Armani? Very nice!"
He immediately calls the waiter over and says,
"Look. I
keep hearing these voices telling me how great
my tie, my
shoes, and my suit look -- What's up with that?
Am I GOING CRAZY??"
"Oh," the waiter nonchalantly replies, "those
are just the
peanuts."
"The PEANUTS?!?" the astonished man asks, staring
at the
bowl beside him.
"Yes," replies the waiter, ". . . they're complimentary !!"
