Anecdote about George Bernard Shaw - In a restaurant

George Bernard Shaw war einmal zum Abendessen in einem großen Restaurant.
Während des Essens spielte ein Orchester sehr laut.

Shaw rief einen Kellner und fragte:
„Können Sie mir sagen ob das Orchester etwas spielen würde, das von einem Gast gewünscht wird?“
„Aber sicherlich mein Herr.“ antwortete der Kellner. „Was wünschen Sie sich denn?“
„Nun, daß es Poker spielt, bis ich mein Abendessen beendet habe.“
