Don't use the spoons...
A business expert goes for lunch at a stylish restaurant. While eating he notices that all the waiting staff have a spoon visible in their top waistcoat pocket. Intrigued, the expert calls the waiter over and asks why they all have spoons. The waiter replies, "Well, we did an efficiency revue and found that the most commonly dropped item of cutlery was the spoon, averaging three times per table per evening. By carrying a spare it saves each waiter four minutes per shift in trips to and from the cutlery store. Multiply that by the number of waiters here and it is the equivalent to two and a half hours a week."
"That's fascinating, I shall have to do a similar study with my own business" replied the expert before ordering dessert.
When the dessert arrived the expert "accidentally" knocked a spoon on the floor and the waiter duly replaced it from his top pocket.
Thanking him the expert noticed a piece of string hanging from the waiter's fly and between mouthfulls of dessert asked if that also had anything to do with the efficiency drive.
"Oh yes sir, replied the waiter. "We find that together we waste three hours a week washing our hands after visiting the urinal, so we attach a piece of string to ourseves so we can remove our dicks from our trousers without touching them. That way we don't need to wash our hands afterwards."
"That's extraordinary," replied the expert, "But what about putting it back?"
"Well I can't speak for everyone," the waiter whispered conspiratorially, "But I use the spoon."
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
