Just remembered an Ed Whalen story.
I was a young waiter serving him at a banquet. When I put his prime rib in front of him, he exclaimed “I can’t eat this - it’s far too rare!”
One of the other people at the table said it’s prime rib Ed, it’s supposed to be rare. Whalen said that was easy for him to say, his was closer to medium-rare. I asked the other guy if he thought Ed’s prime rib looked okay, and he said yes. So I swapped their plates.
Whalen’s jaw dropped open. But everyone else at the table had a good laugh, and so he went along with it.
When I told my manager, she said “you did WHAT?” I was 18 and didn’t know any better.
