Situation puzzleOn the reverse side...
A man had lunch at the restaurant, and the waiter brought him his bill. He wrote out a check for the required amount but suddenly turned it over and wrote a few words on the reverse side of the check as congratulations to the restaurant owner. What for?
Salvador Dali was famous not only by his eccentric escapades, but also for his passion for money. Despite earning millions from his paintings and numerous commercial projects, the famous surrealist wasn’t above saving on restaurant bills. The whole evening, Dali could treat a large company of friends to any dishes and drinks from the menu. When it was time to pay the bill, the artist generously signed a check for a huge amount, then turned the check over and wrote a few warm words, expressing gratitude to the restaurant owner.
The idea was simple – relying on his fame as a living genius, he was sure that the restaurant owner would never dare to cash a check signed by Salvador Dali himself! And this was how it actually happened – the restaurateurs understood that eventually they would get much more for this check than just the amount in the bill. Well, and Dali saved a lot of money.
