Peanuts

Peanuts

A man walks into a health-food restaurant after a day at the
office, sits down, and orders a nice big dish of brown rice
and stir-fry veggies.

He grabs a handful of peanuts from the bowl on the counter
by the cash register while he's waiting for his order, and
as he starts to chew he hears a voice say, "That's a
beautiful tie. Is that silk? Very NICE choice!"

Wondering who would make such a strange comment, he looks
around and doesn't see anyone near him who could've been
speaking to him. With a shrug, he pops a few more peanuts
into his mouth.

Next he hears a voice, "Those shoes are stylin,' my man. Are
they Italian leather? They look GRRREAT!"

He whirls around to again but sees no one near him. He
glances nervously around and then at his shoes, which he
tucks self-consciously under the stool.

A little weirded out, he grabs another handful of peanuts.
This time the voice continues with, "That suit looks
FANTASTIC! Is it an Armani? Very nice!"

He immediately calls the waiter over and says, "Look. I keep
hearing these voices telling me how great my tie, my shoes,
and my suit look. What's up with that? Am I going CRAZY?"

"Oh," the waiter nonchalantly replies, "those are just the
peanuts."

"The PEANUTS?" the astonished man asks, staring at the bowl
beside him.

"Yes," replies the waiter, "they're complimentary!"
