For real?
In my business you hear a lot of strange stories, jokes, and advice. Well last evenings encounter with a good looking female client, involved her need to explore the construction of each dishes components on the entire menu. After an exacerbating 3 minutes, I asked to what end is all this information for? She replied that she had medical condition: IBS! I immediately and silently chastised myself for my impatience and informed the women that I would make sure her instructions to the captain, concerning her order, would be carried out to the letter.
Luckily, in my kitchen is a premed student who comes in now and again, exchanging his labor for cooking techniques, as I was determined to makes amends for my rash impatience’s, I began discreetly explaining to the staff what had occurred and how I wanted everything to be perfect for this client, when he just starts laughing hysterically in my open kitchen, ten feet from the table. Laughing, to the point he is bent over, holding on to the counter top! This is so out of character, I am beside myself, thinking WTF??? Meanwhile, as Charlie attempts to speak and with each attempt, falls deeper into uncontrollable laughter , I’m getting embarrassed in the open environment of the kitchen, so I guide him to the cellar steps a few feet away, where in the doorway, holding on, he explains his behavior by outlining the poor women’s condition. Not sure I heard him correctly the first time, I asked Charlie to repeat what he had said. Again he begins losing it, but is able to gasp loud enough: “She’s got swamp ass”!! I think I blinked for a second, shocked at what Charlie said, So, I asked WTF are you saying Charlie? As he slips down the steps laughing and choking on "I" "B "S", “its, Irritable bowel syndrome”, “swamp ass”!!! “She’s got a leaky ass”.
