Les Shaw's restaurant was on "our" side of the tunnel. I worked


there for a while as a bus-boy wearing a stupid chef's hat, apron


and


bandana, walking around the dining room handing out "popovers" to


anyone who wanted one. My girlfriend and her entire family (her


idea) decided to have dinner there one night, unknown to me, and I


was mortified with embarrassment.




I hope you're kidding, or talking about pure teenage foolishness.

Can't

imagine EVER being "mortified" at doing my job, and I've had some

menial

ones.

I was 16 or 17 years old at the time. You try walking around in

that outfit at that age when trying to impress a girlfriend.



I remember getting a summer job as a dishwasher in a sleazy downtown Chinese restaurant.
All the local detectives used to come in to the kitchen for free meals.
I got let go for spending half my time blasting cockroachs off the wall with the handheld spray nozzle.
