gratuities etiquette at Christmans time

[Bertramp]

In Ft Lauderdale, we have a Brazilian cleaning lady that happens to be quite tall and very attractive.

So my wife asks me .... "What would you like to give Haika for Christmas" ?
I think to myself ..... "a hicky on each boob", but something told me that was not quite the correct reply !!
She's getting a check .... so I'm a loser on two counts !!

Found the story I was thinking of Steve.....was about the mail man not the paperboy....but still is tied to Gratuities....

__________________________________________________-
It was the mailman''s last day, after 38 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.

When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family who soundly congratulated him and sent him on his way with a tidy gift envelope.

At the second house, and old age pensioner presented him with a box of fine cigars.

The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful blonde woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door and up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When they had finished, they went downstairs where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee.

As she was pouring the coffe, the mailman noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup''s bottom edge.

"All of this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what''s the dollar for"?

"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you, and he said, "Screw him. Give him a dollar. The breakfast was my idea!"

As a business owner the old man told me a long time ago, and I have lived by it, "Though shalt not put thy rod in thy staff!"

Merry Christmas, y'all! ;)
