So, a beggar goes into New Tristam's Tavern, and he is stopped as he approaches the VIP section.
"Sir, I am sorry, but I cannot let you through. You see, the VIP section is a reserved section for people with ..um.. 'high' quality. Due to our exclusivity, I cannot let you in, nor can I give you free food, for each piece of crumb is highly expensive."
To which the beggar replies, "It's okay, I'm not here to ask for food. All I need is a toothpick".
"A toothpick you say? Alright, here you go." And the beggar leaves.
A few seconds later, another desperate beggar is seen inside the tavern approaching the VIP section again.
"Sir, I am sorry, but I cannot let you through. You see, the VIP section is a reserved section for people with 'high' quality. Due to our exclusivity,..."
"It's okay, I'm not here to ask for food. All I need is a toothpick, please!", the beggar interrupts.
"Alright, here you go." And the beggar rapidly leaves.
A minute later, another beggar is seen inside the tavern and walks near the VIP section.
"I know, I know, you just want a toothpick right?"
"No, I need a straw", the beggar replies.
"A straw?..."
"Yes, please.", the beggar responds.
"Alright then, here you go.... excuse me, but just out of curiosity, why did your friends come to ask for a toothpick, and why now do you ask for a straw?"
