Target Acquired

(During a trip to India we were having dinner in a restaurant. Anytime we tried to serve ourselves from the dishes on the table, a waiter would hurry over and stop us, telling us it was their job to do that. Not wanting to offend them, we would wait for a waiter to come every time. However it was a busy night. At one point, my friend wanted more butter chicken.)

Me: “Okay. I’ll keep watch and you just take some.”

(My friend just started to scoop some butter chicken when I saw the waiter coming our way.)

Me: “The waiter’s coming! Abort! Abort!”

(Everyone else at the table collapsed in laughter.)
