Yesterday I met a friend for lunch at Gondolier in Lenoir City. I had been sitting there for about 20 minutes when one of the waitresses came up and said, "Are you going to rob us?"
I paused for a moment, trying to decide how I wanted to respond, "Oh, no, not today anyway."
She smiled and continued, "If you were, I was going to suggest you do it tonight, business is slow during lunch."
"Well, I figure that most criminals conceal their guns. You don't have much to worry about from me."
"You know, that's right!" She smiled real big and walked off.
I have yet to have a bad experience; I thought this might be my first. It made me feel good, though, that she felt comfortable enough to come joke about it.
