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.




Yep. Part of teenage foolishness is she probably thought your

"uniform"

attractive - maybe even "hot" - and you not knowing that.



----------------------------------



Oh, yeah. She thought it was "cute". I thought it sucked.



What did she think of your little 'Popeye outfit' when you were in the navy?
