My job was to take menus, coffee, and water to the customers after they sat down. Now I was not very worldly back then, but the two 20 something guys came in and sat down, so I took them water and and coffee and asked one how he wanted his coffee and he said "I like my coffee the way I like my women." Well, me being a *******, I said, "How black?" lol, he went nuts and screamed, "No asshole, hot blonde and sweet!" His buddy was laughing his *** off. I learned something that day...
The "Dailys" I could handle on my bicycle but the Sundays with all the ads I could only carry like 10 of em in my bag on bicycle and my folks wernt much help my Dad said ya took the paper route job as a man I aint bailing ya out with the car every Sunday morning.
