Some things which crack you up at a restaurant!

Ok these are a few real incidents which I have known to happen in a restaurant; either I have personally seen it or its happened with a reliable source as a viewer:-

1) The Finger Bowl Incident
Ok I had this cousin who was then (And still is) 4 years elder to me.. This happened about 10 years ago when he was a kid and was on a trip to Bangalore with family. Maybe it was his 1st encounter with the finger-bowl (Which in decent restaurants, customers get as a hand wash alternative to getting up from their lazy a** to wash hands in a rest room; constituted by a bowl of warm water and a slice of lime for that refreshing smell)..

So here he was after a heavy meal and the waiter clears the dishes to place a finger bowl in front of him: Sadly he happened to ask a prankster of a cousin about it who told him its a Sherbet of sorts.. The naive lad proceeded to add some salt & pepper from the shake flasks, pressed the lime to get the juice and- you got it- drank it like a soup! Needless to say it caused quite an outburst of laughter and to this day we remember it :D

2) The Spring Rolls Incident
Luckily for that cousin, he was nowhere involved here! In fact these were two Bank Officials, friends of my uncle who works for Corporation Bank. Dinner at a restaurant incorporated (Pun intended) a plate of veg spring rolls. The posh restaurant brought it in a plate at the centre of which was an open onion with a lit candle wax supporting a flame. Now many readers may have seen such a decoration but these two pious people had not, and the devotees proceeded to take blessings from the flame like one does in a temple: Man that was embarassing for all!!
