George worked in London. He wasn't married, and usually had his lunch, and sometimes his dinner, in small restaurants. One evening he decided to go to an expensive restaurant, and when he got in, he saw a large, heavy man whom he had not seen for several years sitting by himself at a  table. He thought for a few moments and then remembered the man's name. So he went up to him and said politely, "Hello, Mr Grey. How is your business?"
"Oh, it's not good at all," the large man answered.
George looked at the expensive food and wine on Mr Grey's table and was surprised. "It certainly doesn't look like what you said," he said.
