So....... A man was closing his restaurant one night. He heard a knock on the rear door. He opened it to see a homeless man there.
'Get out of here, you bum!' he said.
The homeless man said. 'Sir, I just want a toothpick.'
'A toothpick? That's all you want?' replied the restaurant owner. 'Wait here and I'll get you a toothpick.'
So he gets him a toothpick and the homeless man leaves. 5 minutes later there's another knock on the back door. The restaurant owner opens it to find another homeless man there.
'Get out of here!' the restaurant owner says again.
The homeless man says, 'Sir, I just want a toothpick. Can I please have a toothpick?'
The restaurant owner says, 'You want a toothpick too? Wait here and I'll get you a toothpick.'
So the restaurant owner gets the homeless man a toothpick and he leaves.
5 minutes later there is another knock on the back door of the restaurant. The restaurant owner opens the door to see yet another homeless man there.
'Let me guess, you want a toothpick,' says the restaurant owner.
'No sir,' replies the homeless man, 'I want a straw.'
The restaurant owner replies 'A straw? What's going here tonight? Two guys before you wanted a toothpick and now you want a straw! What's going on?'
The homeless man replies,
