So that's where the song originated...a bet. Interesting. The lyrics which still seem to paint the picture of the waiter as loser...always remind me of a Lenny Bruce sketch from his recorded Carnegie Hall Concert of a 1961 concert (you can get it now on a 2 CD set reissue). It's hilarious. He does this great routine about what it means to be a waiter, and that in most movies the waiter (at least at that time) never got laid. I'll have to stick it on a Burn Unit sometime. Maybe I'll try to eek it in there on some copies (I've got nearly half of them burned already).
