Chocolate mousse leads to dinner embarrassment
A reader writes: "I was having dinner with a glamorous friend. She was eating dark chocolate mousse for dessert. I noticed that somehow a little piece had escaped and somehow landed on her neck. I said something like, 'Oh a bit of mousse has gotten away, allow me'. I leaned forward and tried to pluck it away, as it was a blob more than a smear. Suddenly she yelped and I realised to my mortal shame that it was actually a bobbly mole on her neck which I was holding between thumb and forefinger. She had the good grace to laugh it off."
Mower man's mistake
"The new lawnmower man turned up for the job," writes Peter. "He was replacing a guy who had hurt his back. He unloaded the mower and proceeded to start mowing the large section. The elderly lady peeked out from behind the curtain. He waved but she didn't respond. This happened several times. He assumed she was poorly sighted or suffering from another ailment. As he left he rang the base and told them he had finished the job at number 43. They informed him it was at number 46."
Peanut grease not on wine list
"I work as a bartender in a very nice restaurant in a very nice suburb in Australia," a reader tells Jezebel.com. "There are two types of customers who have caught me off-guard: the very-nice-ladies-who-lunch type of woman who orders a glass of pinot gris as 'peanut grease', and the seemingly unending supply of older gentlemen who will order a 'mug-of-chino', like the options are either a cup, or mug, of 'chino'."
