makes sense , seems like he ' s been here for a bit . i ' ll have to keep my eye out , i didn ' t even put 2 and 2 together until i saw the post <| sep |> Someone told me this one the other dayA foreigner comes into a sushi bar , but can ' t really speak Japanese . The man asks the chef , How much ? and three minutes later the chef leaves him a plate of hamachi . The man then asks his neighbor how to say it in Japanese . He tells the chef , ikura ? and after another couple minutes is brought out an order of ikura . Frustrated , the man is ready to leave before spending any more money . He asks the waitress , Can I have the bill ? and after a few minutes she returns with a beer . <| sep |> Yeah , server population status doesn ' t mean jack shit .
