When my wife and I showed up at a very popular restaurant, it was crowded. My wife went up to the hostess (who was blonde) and asked, “Will it be long?”
The hostess, ignoring her, kept on writing in her book. My wife again asked “How much of a wait?”
The blonde looked up, “About ten minutes.”
A short time later, the blonde got on the loudspeaker, and announced “Willette B. Long, your table is ready.”
