Drink like a fishA guy hosted a dinner party for people from work, including his boss.All during the sit-down dinner, the host's three-year-old girl stared at her father's boss sitting across from her. The girl could hardly eat her food for staring.The man checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place, but nothing stopped her from staring at him. He tried his best to ignore her but, finally it was too much for him.He asked her, "Why are you staring at me.?"Everyone at the table had noticed her behaviour and the table went quiet for her response.The little girl said, "My Daddy said you drink like a fish and I don't want to miss it!"
