Some Employees Just Don’t Add Up, Part 3
(I’m at a bar with a French friend of mine. She’s 20 years old but looks rather young for her age. This happens just after we’ve ordered our drinks.)
Bartender: “I’m sorry, but I have to check your ID.”
My Friend: “No problem!”
(She hands him her French driver’s license.)
Bartender: “I don’t think I can accept that. I don’t speak French.”
Me: “I don’t see the problem; just check her date of birth.”
Bartender: “But it has two dates on it. How am I supposed to know which one is her date of birth?”
(One of the dates is her date of birth, while the other one indicates when the license was issued.)
Me: “Look, here it says 1992, and here it says 2010. Do you think she’s only two years old?”
Bartender: “I’m no good at maths.”
