2. I pretty much make an ass of myself every day.

I was waiting table in an upscale restaurant near a university during graduation week and a kid and his parents were obviously having a celebratory dinner for his graduation.

At the end of the meal, where they had spent LOTS of money on food and some excellent wine they asked to see the dessert tray..

I wheeled it out and described the requisite cheesecake, and various torts. The mother asked how much this chocolate concoction at the back of the tray would cost, for a whole cake.

I said, being a smart ass..."I believe that would cost an arm and a leg"

Then the kid put the stump where his left hand used to be on the edge of the table.
