When In A Roman Restaurant…

(I work as a hostess at an Italian restaurant franchise that has various paintings, photos, and other decor adorning the walls. One day, my manager walks up to me and begins wondering out loud.)

Manager: “Why do our walls have these lion faces embossed on them?”

Me: “In ancient Roman times, the lion head represented Hercules. He was said to wear the skin of a lion and its head as a helmet.”

Manager: *blank look* “What do Romans have anything to do with an Italian restaurant?!”
