So the other night I was hanging out with a few friends, and somebody decided to put on some Monty Python. They put on the very first Python movie---And Now For Something Completely Different. I hadn't seen this one in at least 15 years. I appreciated it back then, you know, and this time, we all laughed and such, but there was one skit in there I had forgotten about.
The restaurant scene. The one with the dirty fork.
After so much time reading this site and getting entertainment from it, I really appreciated the restaurant scene. I fell off the couch I was laughing so hard. I had tears squeezing out of my eyes and rolling down my cheeks, and was laughing so hard my stomach clenched up and no sound was coming out of my mouth.
For those of you who have never seen it, it's a scene in a restaurant where a cust very politely gives his fork to the waiter, saying it has a spot on it, and could he please have a new one. The waiter has a cow, calls over the head waiter, the head waiter has a cow, then verbally abuses the waiter and orders him to sack the entire dishwashing staff. Then the manager comes out, has a cow, apologizes deeply and profusely, going off about how hard they are trying but they just can't seem to get the restaurant to work, and then begins to sob on the table. Then the chef comes out with a cleaver and calls the customer (who has been protesting the entire time that it wasn't that big a deal) a bastard and threatens him, while the manager commits hari-kiri with the fork and the chef and waiter clutch their heads and moan.
I dont remember reacting to that scene that way the last time I saw it. I have since come to appreciate what customer service people do!
