A man walks into a health-food restaurant after a day at the office, sits down, and orders a nice big dish of brown rice and stir-fried veggies.

He grabs a handful of peanuts from the bowl on the counter by the cash register while he's waiting for his order, and as he starts to chew he hears a voice say, "That's a beautiful tie. Is it silk? Very NICE choice!"

Wondering who would make such a strange comment, he looks around and doesn't see anyone near him who could have been speaking to him. With a shrug, he pops a few more peanuts into his mouth.

Next he hears a voice, "Those shoes are stylin,' my man. Are they Italian leather? They look GRRREAT!"

He whirls around to again but sees no one near him. He glances nervously around and then at his shoes, which he tucks self-consciously under the stool.

A little weirded out, he grabs another handful of peanuts. This time the voice continues with, "That suit looks FANTASTIC! Is it an Armani? Very nice!"

He immediately calls the waiter over and says, "Look. I keep hearing these voices telling me how great my tie, my shoes and my suit look. What's up with that? Am I going CRAZY?"

"Oh," the waiter nonchalantly replies, "those are just the peanuts."

"The PEANUTS?" the astonished man asks, staring at the bowl beside him.

"Yes," replies the waiter, "they're complimentary!"

I don't take peanuts (or any other items) from open containers in pubs, or unwrapped chocs in places like Thorntons, there are too many "Walkers" ie people that don't wash their hands after visiting the toilet... yuck...

It's bad enough trying to escape public toilets with out touching the door handle.

Then you buy something, and you are given loose change and you handle the same coins that the walkers have...

You can't win...

Then you go into McDonalds and eat a burger using your fingers... hmmmm..
