The Folded Napkin..
A Truckers Story
If this doesn’t light your fire..your wood
is wet!
I try not to be biased, but I had my
doubts about hiring Stevie. His placement counselor assured me that he
would be a good, reliable busboy. But I
had never had a mentally challenged
employee and wasn’t sure I wanted
one. I wasn't sure how my customers
would react to Stevie.

— We buy old gold —
A young college girl came running in
tears to her father. “Dad, you gave me
some terrible financial advice!” she
cried. “I did? What did I tell you?” said
the dad. “You told me to put my money
in that big bank, and now that big bank
is in trouble.” “What are you talking
about? That’s one of the largest banks
in the world,” he said. “Surely there
must be some mistake.” “I don’t think
so,” she sniffed. “They just returned
one of my checks with a note saying,
‘Insufficient Funds’.”

WORD SEARCH
FUN PAPE—Creston’s most read free paper
He was short, a little dumpy with the
smooth facial features and thicktongued speech of Downs Syndrome. I
wasn’t worried about most of my
trucker customers because truckers
don’t generally care who buses tables
as long as the meatloaf platter is good
and the pies are homemade. The fourwheeler drivers were the ones who
concerned me; the mouthy college kids
traveling to school; the yuppie snobs
who secretly polish their silverware
with their napkins for fear of catching
some dreaded “truck stop germ” the
pairs of white-shirted business men on
expense accounts who think every
truck stop waitress wants to be flirted
with. I knew those people would be
uncomfortable around Stevie so I
closely watched him for the first few
weeks. I shouldn't have worried. After
the first week, Stevie had my staff
wrapped around his stubby little finger,
and within a month my truck regulars
had adopted him as their official truck
stop mascot. After that, I really didn’t
care what the rest of the customers
thought of him. He was like a 21-yearold in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to
laugh and eager to please, but fierce in
his attention to his duties. Every salt
and pepper shaker was exactly in its
place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill
was visible when Stevie got done with
the table.

Our only problem was persuading him
to wait to clean the table until after the
customers were finished. He would
hover in the background, shifting his
weight from one foot to another, scanning the dining room until a table was
empty. Then he would scurry to the
empty table and carefully bus dishes
and glasses onto his cart and meticulously wipe the table up with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a
customer was watching, his brow
would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how
hard he tried to please each and every
person he met. Over time we learned
that he lived with his mother, a widow
who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer, They lived on their
Social Security benefits in public housing two miles from the truck stop. Their
social worker, who stopped to check
on him every so often, admitted they
had fallen between cracks. Money was
tight, and what I paid him was probably
the difference between them being
able to live together and Stevie being
sent to a group home. That’s why the
restaurant was a gloomy place that
morning last August, the first morning
in three years that Stevie missed work.
He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a new valve or something
put in his heart. His social worker said
that people with Downs Syndrome often have heart problems at an early
age so this wasn’t unexpected, and
there was a good chance he would
come through the surgery in good
shape and be back at work in a few
months. A ripple of excitement ran
through the staff later that morning
when word came that he was out of
surgery, in recovery, and doing fine.

One of our co-workers went missing
for a few hours, and we tore up the
place looking for him. The boss finally
found him fast asleep. Rather than
wake him, he quietly places a note on
the mans chest… “As long as you’re
asleep,” it read, “you have a job. But
as soon as you wake up, you’re fired!”
—————————————————For years my husband denied he was
an aggressive driver. That changed
one day when we were out for a ride
with our three-year-old, Matthew. Seeing a teaching opportunity, I began
quizzing Matthew about traffic lights.
“What does a red light mean?” I asked.
“Stop.” “How about green?” “Go.” “And
yellow?” In his best impression of
Daddy, Matthew bellowed, “Hang on!”
—————————————————There has never yet been a fisherman
who could keep both hands in his
pockets while describing the one that
got away.
—————————————————One evening I was driving my six year
old daughter to her grandparents
home for an overnight stay. It was late,
there was little traffic and we were enjoying a peaceful ride. It was a far cry
from the usual chaos surrounding us
when I drive her to various activities
during rush hour. My daughter seemed
deep in thought when she said, “I have
a question.” “What do you want to
know?” I responded. “Mom, when
you're driving,” she asked, “are you
ever the idiot?”
—————————————————I was babysitting my two grandchildren, Tony, 5, and Holly, 2, when Holly
temporarily disappeared. As I ran
through the house calling Holly’s
name, Tony came to my aid. “I’ll help
you, Grandma,” he said. “If you don’t
find her, you won’t get paid for babysitting, will you?”

The Folded Napkin
A Truckers Story
cont from pg 5
Frannie, the head waitress, let out a
war hoop and did a little dance in the
aisle when she heard the good news.
Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker
customers, stared at the sight of this
50-year-old grandmother of four doing
a victory shimmy beside his table.
Frannie blushed, smoothed he apron
and shot Belle Ringer a withering look.
He grinned, “OK, Frannie, what was
that all about?” he asked. “We just got
word that Stevie is out of surgery and
going to be okay.” “I was wondering
where he was. I had a new joke to tell
him. What was the surgery about?”
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and
the other two drivers sitting at his booth
about Stevie’s surgery, then sighed:
“Yeah, I’m glad he is going to be OK,”
she said. “But I don’t know how he and
his mom are going to handle all the
bills from what I hear, they’re barely
getting by as it is.” Belle Ringer nodded
thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to
wait on the rest of her tables. Since I
hadn’t had time to round up a busboy
to replace Stevie and really didn’t want
to replace him, the girls were busing
their own tables that day until we decided what to do. After the morning
rush, Frannie walked into my office.
She had a couple of paper napkins in
her hand and a funny look on her face.
“What's up?” I asked. “I didn’t get that
table where Belle Ringer and his
friends were sitting cleared off after
they left, and Pony Peter and Tony
Tipper were sitting there when I got
back to clean it off,” she said. “This
was folded and tucked under a coffee
cup.” She handed the napkin to me,
and three $20 bills fell onto my desk
when I opened it. On the outside, in
big, bold letters, was printed
“Something For Stevie”. “Pony Pete
asked me what that was all about,” she
said, “So I told him about Stevie..

And his mom and everything, and Pete
looked at Tony and Tony looked at
Pete, and they ended up giving me
this.” She handed me another paper
napkin that had “Something For Stevie”
scrawled on its outside. Two $50 bills
were tucked within its folds. Frannie
looked at me with wet, shiny eyes,
shook her head and said simply:
“truckers.” That was three months ago.
Today is Thanksgiving, the first day
Stevie is supposed to be back at work.
His placement worker said he’s been
counting the days until the doctor said
he could work, and it didn’t matter at all
that it was a holiday. HE called 10
times in the past week, making sure
we knew he was coming, fearful that
we had forgotten him or that his job
was in jeopardy. I arranged to have his
mother bring him to work. I then met
them in the parking lot and invited
them both to celebrate his day back.
Stevie was thinner and paler, but
couldn’t stop grinning as he pushed
through the doors and headed for the
back room where his apron and busing
cart were waiting. “Hold up there , Stevie, not so fast,” I said. I took him and
his mother by their arms. “Work can
wait for a minute. To celebrate you
coming back, breakfast for you and
your mother is on me!” I led them toward a large corner booth at the rear of
the room. I could feel and hear the rest
of the staff following behind as we
marched through the dining room.
Glancing over my shoulder, I saw
booth after booth of grinning truckers
empty and join the procession. We
stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups,
saucers and dinner plates, all sitting
slightly crooked on dozens of folded
paper napkins. “First thing you have to
do, Stevie , is clean up this mess,” I
said. I tried to sounds stern.

On a Sunday morning, our country
church receives a call telling us that
the cows belonging to Matt, a vacationing parishioner, were out of their pasture. A group of volunteers was
formed, and they went off to retrieve
the cows and close the fence gate.
They returned just as the service
ended. The next week at church, Matt
thanked everyone for their care and
help. But he was, he said, surprised to
find 20 extra cows in his pasture.

Growing up as a kid, I learned all about
capitalism through the board game Monopoly. I mean, what better way to
teach a young mind the way our economy functions. I loved this game and
still do. Only now, as an adult I have

money and own all this real estate...why am I still driving around in a
thimble?

The Folded Napkin
A Truckers Story
cont from pg 7
Stevie looked at me, and then at his
mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had “Something for Stevie”
printed on the outside. As he picked it
up, two $10 bills fell onto the table.
Stevie stared at the money, then at all
the napkins peeking from beneath the
tableware, each with his name printed
or scrawled on it. I turned to his
mother. “There’s more that $10, 000 in
cash and checks on that table, all from
truckers and trucking companies that
heard about your problems “Happy
Thanksgiving,”. Well, it got real noisy
about that time, with everybody hollering and shouting, and there were a few
tears as well. But you know what's
funny? While everybody else was busy
shaking hands and hugging each
other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on
his face, was busy clearing all the cups
and dishes from the table.
—————————————————“Hanging onto resentment is like letting

—————————————————A big game hunter went on safari with
his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while deep in the jungle, the Mrs.
awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on
them both trying to find her mother.
The hunter picked up his rifle, and
started to look for her. In a clearing not
far from the camp, they came upon a
chilling sight: the mother-in-law was
backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood
facing her. The wife cried, “What are
we going to do?” “Nothing,” said the
hunter husband. “The lion got himself
into this mess, let him get himself out
of it.”

“Don’t wait for the other guys - Call us Today!”
One day, there was a blind man sitting
on the steps of a building with a hat by
his feet and a sign that read: “I am
blind, please help.” A creative publicist
was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man had
only a few coins in his hat. He dropped
more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it.
He returned the sign to the blind man
and left. That afternoon the publicist
returned to the blind man and noticed
that his hat was full of bills and coins.
The blind man recognized his footsteps
and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what
he had written on it. The publicist responded: “nothing that was not true. I
just wrote the message a little differently.” He smiled and went on his way.
The new sign read: “Today is Spring
and I cannot see it

My friend Stan was thrilled he could
take his 87-year-old mother to finally
see “Fiddler on the Roof,” especially
since she came from one of the countless Anatevka-like Russian shtetls so
many decades ago. He spared no expense: best seats, limo, the works. After the show Stan eagerly asked: “So
Mom, what did you think? Did it bring
back any memories?” His mother
thought for a moment then, giving that
classic Jewish mother shrug and nod,
said: “Yes. But I don’t remember that
much singing.”

little girl asked: “How does it know it’s

————–———————————For 40 years my grandfather put in
long hours at his job, so I was more
than a little curious about the way he
filled his days since his retirement.
“How has life changed?” I asked. A
man of few words, he replied, “Well, I
get up in the morning with nothing to
do, and I go to bed at night with it halfdone.”
Answers to: Amy’s Spot the 15 Changes
Gorilla’s head smaller. Tiger’s eyebrows. Bird’s
back. Tiger’s nose. Alligator’s neck thicker. Tree
in distance missing. Vine hanging on right missing. Alligator’s eyes. Tree trunk. Snake’s eyebrows. Stripe on tiger missing. Bird’s beak.
Snake’s tail. Fur on gorilla added. Mountain in
distance changed.
Figure out the phrase.
