Mel signaled for the waiter. He was upset but tried to remain calm. It was his first time at the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Are you sure this place’s okay?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What’d you mean?” The waiter had the name ‘Ralph’ stenciled on his white jacket pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ralph, there were two flies on my table.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ralph saw only the tuna melt he’d brought a few minutes before. “I don’t recall any flies coming with that sandwich.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“No, they didn’t come with it.” Mel explained he had just shooed the flies away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Two, huh? I’m sorry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ralph didn’t look sorry. Mel was upset, which always affected his vision and impressions. Would this be his last time at the place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Can you believe it? There were just two green-headed flies with big eyes walking toward my sandwich.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sorry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sorry? I want my money back.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Ralph was upset. Who wants to give back money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Look, I’ve got other customers. But I’ve been trying to apologize.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Apologize.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Couldn’t Mel realize that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Huh?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Green, with bulging compound eyes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook, I’m sorry… I must’ve forgotten to bring your flyswatter along with the tuna melt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
