The Confrontation
Two street-wise punks entered the fast food restaurant looking for trouble. With food loaded on trays, they turned to the seating area. One of the two nudged the other and nodded toward a table for six with an elderly lady alone. SLAM! She jumped when they slammed their trays onto the table. A sneer toward the young men said it all.
“Bobby, do you know who your father is?”
“Nope. You?”
“Me neither.”
Smiling, they were sure they had her goat.
Finally, the elderly lady spoke to the two young men. “Would one of you bastards please pass the napkins?”
