-That was an excellent dinner. Should we get the check?
-Sure. This one’s on me. 
-No, please, I’ve got it. You get the next one. 
-No, I insist, it’s on me.
-Hmm. Okay. Hey, is that Keanu Reeves?
-Where—hey, wait a minute! You grabbed the check when I wasn’t looking!
-Yes I did. 
-Smart…very smart…hey, is that noted curmudgeon Larry David? What is he doing here?
-Where—hey, you used my own trick on me! 
-Yes I did.
-Good thing that’s only a decoy check. I replaced the real check on the table using sleight of hand. 
-Ah, but I knew you would try that, and I had the waiter bring out a fake check when I “went to the bathroom” a few minutes ago. I’ve already paid. Checkmate. 
-Aha! But I actually contacted your credit card company last week and arranged for all payments to be rerouted from my account. 
-That was me on the phone, pretending to be an agent of the credit card company. 
-Gosh darn it, you really thought of everything…can I at least see the receipt? Wait, you only tipped $5.00?
-I tipped $500. This is the World’s Nicest People Convention, after all.
