Subject: Another Restaurant Story



A friend of mine went to a restaurant in Milwaukee and said, "I'd like a

turkey sandwich".



The waitress said, "Please?".



Miffed at being corrected, he said, "OK, I'll have a turkey sandwich,

PLEASE!"



In this Germanic town, people sometimes use "please" as the Germans use

"bitte" - as a way of saying "Please say that again, I didn't hear you

the first time".

I'm gonna get a drink from the bubbler.
