Why are you staring at me?


Recommended Posts

A friend hosted a dinner party for people from

work, and everyone was encouraged to bring their

children.

All during the sit-down dinner one co-worker's

three-year-old girl stared at the man sitting

across from her. The girl could hardly eat her

food from staring. The man checked his tie, felt

his face for food, patted his hair in place,

but nothing stopped her from staring at him.

He tried his best to just ignore her but finally

it was too much for him. He asked her, "Why are

you staring at me?"

Everyone at the table had noticed her behavior

and the table went quiet for her response.

The little girl said, "I just want to see how

you drink like a fish!"

for the people who don't get it: havbe you heard the term "drinks like a fish" before? meaning "has a drinking problem".

so the girl had obviously overheard her parents say that the guy drank like a fish, but was too young / naive to realise they meant the guy was a drunk. so she was watching to see him drinking like a fish. which was embarassing for the guy when everyone heard the little girl say it.

boom boom.

geez...can't believe people didn't get it. pretty good joke, not the funniest, but was imaginitive

Might be because there are also non-native English speakers around here? :)

Neway, thanks for clearing that up for those who didn't understand, another figure of speech learned... ;)

it would be funnier if the girl said " you are the same guy that was on top of mommy, while she made weird noises!"

Nah, doesn't relate to dinner. :p
