This is one of those stories that I want to remember so I am jotting it down. It really is just so I can enjoy a laugh now and again and serves no other purpose.
This story is about two of our employees, Jake and Adam. Jake is a cook and Adam washes dishes. Adam has some mental handicaps and we brought him in through a group that helps handicap people develop skill so that they can be gainfully employed. He is a good kid. I say kid but he is in his 30's. He has a few issues including a sensitive gag reflex which makes the dish washing duties a bit interesting. We certainly enjoy having Adam in the kitchen with us.
Anyhow, this afternoon after lunch had wound down a bit Jake and I were talking about counting calories, dietary supplements and other things. Jack pulled out some gum and got himself a piece. I'm sure he was feeling obligated when he offered me a piece but I declined. Jake then asked Adam if he would like a piece of gum. After some thought Adam said yes. He thought a little further and then asked Jake if he would unwrap it and put it in between his teeth. Jake looked a bit surprised and said no. He put the gum on the counter. Adam simply replied with an 'Okay' and a 'just leave it on the counter.'
I'm sure, after typing out the story, that nobody will find it even remotely funny. Probably one that you needed to be at to appreciate. I guess I don't care because it gave me some laughs.
