"The Inconsiderate Waiter"
Years ago I bought an older book that had a collection of short stories by English authors. I read one that really cracked me up. Told a friend about it "loaned" him the book and never saw the book or the story again. Until today. I've been searching for the book and just found out the story is online.
I had no idea it was written by James M. Barrie (Peter Pan) It makes a great Christmas (Holiday Season whatever) story. (If you like "humor" I mean.)
Enjoy.

Barrie was a superb writer and a real stylist with words. It's very sad that he's only known these days through (mostly bad) panto-like stage performances of Peter Pan. If anyone hasn't already done so, I recommend reading the book: it's far darker and deeper than you might expect.
