Okay gentlemen, listen up. You’re all here because you were accepted at Fancypants University! Good old FU, the best school for waiters in all of Spain.
You look muy bueno in your festive outfits, with your tablecloths folded over your arms.
Now, in addition to proper order-taking, food presentation, wine-opening etc, we here at FU prepare you to entertain customers, as well.
What kind of entertainment, you ask?
Well, out that door there just behind the little-bitty guy in purple – no offense, Shrimpy – we have some farm animals. Chickens, sheep and oh yes, maybe a few pissed-off 2,000-pound steam-snorting bulls with big-ass pointed horns. Don’t worry, they’re harmless.
So let’s see, you three guys in front, head on outside and unfurl those flashy red tablecloths, and wave them at the bulls to get their attention, so we can get started.
By the way, Shrimpy, did you remember to fill out your Next of Kin form? Oh, no special reason….

Bob, I get the impression you don’t like bullfighting.
You know, Tim, I hadn’t thought about it much, but you could be right….
Shrimpy looks like he’s gonna kick some bull ASS!
(either that, or he’s making a poopy in his fancy pants…)
Man, I feel good for the bull when he gives the matador a taste of his medicine… Probably because I am a Taurean!
Actually, Shrimpy is getting the work of the Crapadors ready, so he can then complete the procedures.
