If I might come back to that point (sorry have been away from the e-mailer for almost a week) . I was being facetious. Kelly picked up on that, no doubt, because no good waitress would have let something like that go unnoticed (that I was throwing away their tips). Actually, my honesty followed a different pathology. Certain waitresses would wear me out, getting me to bus their every table, big group tables, whole banquets, because they knew I could be trusted. I was trusted, and I was poor.
