kitchen to get another tray of food. He stopped and reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card wrapped in a one hundred dollar bill. He was shocked and showed it to Richard. “Just one?” Rich said. “I already have had three. Remember when you asked how I could afford that apartment.... I told you about the tips... and you don’t even have to get into the old guy’s bed if you don’t want to. At that age they are just happy to have you return their flirting.”

“You’re kidding me,” Joseph said. “I’m going to give it back to him. I can’t take his money. It just isn’t right.”

“Go on, try to return it! See what happens!” Richard smiled and, hefting a tray of food, turned and went back out into the dining room to serve the first course of the meal. Joseph loaded up his tray and followed him out. Once in the room, he tried to find the gentleman who had given him the money, but was unable to spot him. Finally giving up, he unloaded his tray and headed back to the kitchen where Richard was waiting for him.

“What happened? Did he take it back?” Richard asked.

“No, I couldn’t find him. Do we have any time? I have to use the latrine.”

“Sure, we have some time before the next course is served. I can cover for you if something comes up.” Then he took Joseph aside and in a low voice asked him, “Are you okay?

Once inside, he unzipped, stepped up to the urinal, and unloaded a gusher. “When you get to be my age, you’re lucky if you can hit the back wall of the urinal. From the sound of it, and with that hose of yours, you could almost fight a three alarm fire all by yourself,” joked the guy that had given Joseph the big tip as he exited from one of the booths.

“My god! You shouldn’t sneak up on a guy like that. You startled the heck out of me,” Joseph said, shaking the last drops off his penis and stuffing it back into his pants. “I didn’t know anyone was in here. Oh, by the way, I was looking for you before. I wanted to return the money you gave me. I don’t think I will be able to take advantage of your offer. It’s not right that I take your money under the circumstances.

“Well what do you know, an honest guy! I like that in a young man. Bet you’re not from around here. How old are you kid?” the man said, looking Joseph up and down and running his tongue over his lips.

“I was just 21, Sir, and you are
