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.

Don't tell him about the time the future Mrs. E picked you out of the
lineup at the male strip club. 😄

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.

The worst summer job ever was one a college buddy of mine had way back in
the day. He was premed and somehow he wangled a summer job with a nearby
states public-health service. His job was to check women for venereal
diseases, which he did by swabbing their lady parts and sending the swab
off to a lab. When school restarted in the fall he said he was never going
to go near a woman again. But he changed his mind about a week later.

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?

A lot of the girls were fascinated with the 13 buttons.

She was long gone out of my life by then. It was Mrs. E's turn to
comment.
