His real name is Jegede; you will have to find out why he is called Mr. Palaver. To celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, Mr. Palaver is taking his wife out to dinner in a Smart Restaurant. Here is what happened in the restaurant….
Waiter: (bringing a tray of food to the table) Did you want fried rice sir?
Mr. Palaver: No, I ordered boiled rice. She wanted fried rice
Waiter: (putting two plates into position) Thank you sir (about to put two more plates into position) the fish is for you madam; is it?
Mr. Palaver: No. The fish is not for her. It is for me
Waiter: Oh, I am sorry…I thought you ordered chicken (gives the chicken to Mrs. Palaver)
Mr. Palaver: No. She did not order chicken either. She ordered beef and green peppers
Waiter: Hmmm. I am confused; let me go and change this chicken. I am coming madam! (He hurries away)
Mrs. Palaver: Husband, I hope that at the end of all this…the food you ordered will be good!
To be continued….
