alright, this will be brief because i am tired, hot, and i really want to enjoy a cold beverage (water i think..with ice!). this is just about something that i've come to recognize during my time waitressing. i realized not only do servers do it, but so does everyone else once you start thinking about it.
picture this: you at a table taking an order and then you walk back to the kitchen. another fellow server walks past you. and as soon as the get to you they start singing. and its not like they see you, stop, and then gaze deeply into your eyes and sing an entire song complete with vibrato. it's more like they walk toward you, see you, and when they are within 3 feet they will bust out a verse of a song..loudly...and might even shake their money maker a little. then the verse ends, the booty stops moving, and they keep walking to finish what they were set to do.
all servers do this. i admit i am guilty of it sometimes. caught myself in the act one day and then i started noticing everyone else does it too. the only thing i dont do is shake the cash.
then i started thinking about others that i have witnessed doing the same thing. my roomate, for one, is guilty. i would be sitting at my computer and she would walk in the door, sing a verse (loudly), make some sort of facial expression (similar to the awkward expressions and movements of the talented jessica simpson) in the midst of the performance, then sit down and do homework or something. joebro, also guilty. but he is just weird. gregory does it too. but he is just weird too because the words of whatever verse he is singing is sung softly, not loudly, and in a language noone of the human race could possibly understand. i believe it is of the "fer-ner-ner" dialect. it really isn't clear.
so yes, i hope you all start to acknowledge this strange, almost contagious, characteristic that every person expresses either consciously or unconsciously.
