Tongue Thai'd
Last night I went to dinner at a very good Thai restaurant. The wait staff is primarily all little Thai ladies. Each server wears black pants, black dress shirt and a tie. Either they are told the wear the tie very short (the widest part of the tie lies on their sternum, or the ties are designed in that fashion. It reminds me of the ties from the seventies.After finishing my second beer, I turned to get our servers attention. It became apparant that I had summonsed the wrong server, not that it matters, but my friend sternly pointed out that I had called the wrong lady. Without hesitating I retorted, "Hey, who can tell who's who, with all these little ties running around". Between the eruption of laughter from my friend and the change in the server's composure, I realized that the server heard "... with all these little Thai's running around". It was very much a Seinfeld moment.
I left a 30% tip.

Ooooh, I hate when things like that get misinterpreted! But it seems like it could easily happen. I hope the server understood and appreciated your amends by way of the tip.
Was it a good place? I've been craving Thai food lately! I like Tara Thai and the mango margaritas...
That's freakin' hilarious!
Hmmmm....
Stef - The food is good there, but the Panang Curry was not very hot/spicy. The best I have had so far is Cafe Asia in Arlington. Just my opinion.
AUA / Chase - Thanks for stopping in.

HAHAHAHAHA
Even as an asian, I have to appreciate that one!
Thai-riffic.
Okay, that is the best I could come up with. Excuse the lameness.
I can tip you 35% if you'd like....
That was great! Thanks for the laugh...I too confused my Asian server on Friday and was lectured for it. I mean come on, we are only human....
Sheesh. I know some people think all italians/greeks look alike, and I don't get huffy...
ok I am done :-)
May I recommend Thai Kitchen on M and 23rd. It's never very busy, but the food is awesome.
Regents Thai in AM is really good...and no little Thais either :)
