• A few years ago, I was working the lunch shift at this restaurant in downtown Baltimore. The clientele was mostly suits in a hurry to get back to the office, and sometimes I was not sure if they brought their brain with them.

  For example, this one lady flagged me down and said, "I think I'm ready to order now, but could you answer a question for me?"

  I said, "Sure."

  She said, "What does the ham and swiss croissant come on?"

  I couldn't help it, I said, "A plate."
