Brady and Lizzie walk into a fancy restaurant, trying to act classy.
The waiter hands them the menu and says, “Tonight’s special is grilled salmon for $40.”
Brady whispers to Lizzie, “That’s expensive… watch this.”
He looks at the waiter and says confidently,
“I’ll just have water.”
Lizzie rolls her eyes but says, “Same for me.”
The waiter nods and walks away.
A few minutes later, the waiter returns… carrying two plates of delicious steak.
Brady looks confused, “Uh… we ordered water?”
The waiter smiles politely and says,
“Yes sir… but the couple at the next table felt so bad watching you read the menu for 10 minutes… they paid for your meal.”
Lizzie bursts out laughing.
Brady leans back proudly and whispers,
“See? That’s called strategic dining.” 😄
