Coffee For Two For Who?


--by anwahs, posted Jan 22, 2008
Last night my husband, another friend and our children went out for dinner. 

When it came time to pay the bill, I asked the waitress to add two coffees to the bill.  She thought I was crazy until I said to her:  "Please use this money to pay for the next two people that come in for coffee. "

I then gave her a smile card and asked her to give it to them.  She read the card agreed to do it and not to pass on my name (we live in a SMALL town.) 

So I'm not sure who I bought coffe for, but then, it really doesn't matter.
