And that's why we don't have a table 13....

Two waiters are clearing up at the end of the night.

"So what ya have?"

"Table of thirteen."

"Thirteen? Sweet."

"Nah not really...bit dull to be honest."

"Work party?"

"Leaving do, I think? The big fella in the middle with the hair...he was doing all the talking. Yammer yammer yammer all night long about what he wants done when he's away."

"Ooooh get him."

"Yeah and he was chuffing about with the food too."

"Eh?"

"Yeah messing about with it. I was all like are you gonna eat that or play with it dude?"

"What's that all about?"

"I KNOW!"

"Thirteen though, you must have made money"

"Money? You joking? Sake. They only ordered bread. Freaking bread man!"

"Bread? Just bread? Tough break man. Bet they had water with it."

"Aye you'd think so. No, they had wine. Money for wine but not for proper food. Mooks."

"Seriously?"

"For reals."

Waiters - been getting stiffed for centuries.*

*even in made up stories....

And that's also why most restaurants don't have a table thirteen or ever set a table for thirteen - fear of getting stiffed.
