Reply #6: Tell that to my mother

[Ezlivin]

She was a "waitress" for more than 40 years; I had the privilege of working with her for several years at Malio's Steak House in Tampa.

Lil would be quick to correct the cop. Many, many women passed through the doors of the restaurant in hopes of becoming a waitress. Not too many of them had the requisite personality, endurance or situational awareness to cut it.

My mother, on the other hand, had top-dollar call parties and served the likes of Glen Campbell, Rod Serling, Johnny Bench and Pete Rose.

Me? I was just a busboy. :)
