The Vest Lady

The Vest Lady comes in at least four time a week and, as you may have guessed, is invariably clad in a vest.

She wears vests of denim, she wears vests of leather, she once wore a vest made of Flam-Flimmer feathers.

Her love of Japanese cuisine is so great that she has been known to boast that her refrigerator contains a bottle of gyoza sauce.

The employees all find this manner of dress to be most puzzling.  Until one evening, curiosity got the better of one of the servers.  He just had to know the reason behind this peculiarity of wardrobe.

"Excuse me," he said.  "If you don't mind my asking, what is it with all the vests?"

"Elementary," she replied.  "You're never fully dressed . . . without a vest!"

  2. They're found on a bird
    (it's really quite true)
    that spends all it's life
    on a Yim-Yammer Yew.
