Pierre, an expensively attired middle-aged French tourist on his first trip to Toronto strolls into the bar of his 5-star hotel. The elegant hostess smiles, leads him to a table and beckons her prettiest server to take care of him.

They talk, flirt a little and she giggles a bit. When he draws her closer and whispers in her ear, she gasps and runs away. The hostess frowns then sends a more experienced waitress to the gentleman’s table.

They talk, flirt a little and giggle a bit. He whispers in her ear and she too screams, “No!” and walks away quickly.

The hostess is surprised that this ordinary looking man has asked for something so outrageous that two experienced waitresses would have nothing to do with him. Rather than alienate a highpowered customer, she asks Lucille, her seen-it-all, heard-it-all bartender, to take his order. They talk, flirt a little and Lucille even giggles a bit. When he whispers in her ear, she screams, “NO WAY, BUDDY!” then smacks him as hard as she can and leaves.

The hostess is now intrigued, having seen nothing like this in all her years working in bars. It’s been a while since she waited on tables, but she’s confident she still knows how to say no to a man without offending him. Besides, she has to find out what this man wants that makes her girls so angry. She also sees a chance to teach her girls a lesson in managing men with tact and diplomacy.

She goes to Pierre’s table, wishes him a pleasant evening and tells him she’ll personally take care of his needs. Although it’s against the rules for bar staff to sit with customers, as the hostess, she exempts herself. They flirt a little, giggle a bit and talk. Pierre leans forward and whispers in her ear, “Can I pay in Euros?”

notice that the joke isn't funny if this is the punch-line -

“Can I pay in Gold ?”


the Indians had an interesting currency - Wampum. what were they, shells ? carved pieces of bone ?

in any case, it was based on trust. it seemed to work. i wonder what would have happened to Indians & Wampum if the "White Man" hadn't moved in.
