I didn't see the other thread on the waiter image but the impression it gave
us here was of someone working at McDonalds, not generally a highly
respected image :-) I think it was the coke like container he was carrying
more than anything that gave that impression rather than the waiter concept.
To be honest, I hadn't actually noticed he was tailess.
