The Dip

I used to work in a huge banquet hall. There were about 15 servers on the floor at any given time, and no sections. All of the waiters just roamed around helping random tables and trying to keep everybody happy. I had a tray of iced tea that I was bringing to a table of 8 and  I was standing behind this woman  with a long pony tail. As I was trying to pass out drinks, she leans her head back and starts laughing hysterically. I look down at my tray and see that a good 4 inches of her pony tail has plunged into one of the glasses of iced tea. She continues cackling as I stand there, trying not to cackle myself, and wondering what to do. She finally calms down and leans her head back forward. I stand there for a moment, waiting for her to turn around and blame it all on me, but she just continues with her conversation. I quickly scan the table for any signs that anybody is wise to what has just happened, nobody. Deciding that nobody else should have to drink that glass of tea, I hand it to her with a smile and say, “Enjoy your glass of tea miss!”
