A tale of two Daves
Dave from school:
He used to buy the drinks all night for him and his girlfriend. Generous? No, because at the end of the night, he'd tot up how much he'd spent on her and ask her for the cash.
Dave from work:
Bear in mind that in our office we are all IT contractors. The custom is, on birthdays, to bring in cakes, on leaving days, to take everyone down the pub. On his leaving day, he brought in cakes and then cut them in half so that everyone got half a cake.
