“Giant” Costas enjoying trips to China in preparation for the Olympic Games

“We heard Bob saying that the only other time he got to say ’shorty’ was to a jockey,” one witness stated. “It must have been too hard for him to pass up. So when the guy came up to take our order, it was like an avalanche of puns. He ordered the ’short stack’ of pancakes; he ordered the ’shrimp.’ He asked how the weather was down there. It was really annoying.”

The waiter, who spoke almost no English, just smiled at Costas and bowed his head, witnesses said. Costas has already made plans to return to the restaurant and sit in the same waiter’s section, according to restaurant’s owner, Chen Lee.

“Look, I’m really successful,” Costas said. “So it’s not a surprise that the Chinese would look up to me. Whoa! Did you get that pun? Look up to me!”
