One time, not even a week after seeing Les Mis, my family and I went to a restaurant that had — for some inexplicable reason — a “Jean Valjean Seafood Special” on their menu. And us all being fans of Les Mis we naturally have to ask our waiter: why? Instead of saying “oh I don’t know” or “oh the guy in the back is a big Les Mis fan” or something, he decided to pick the fun route and lie. He looked into our eyes, straight-faced, so serious, and said “Jean Valjean is French for ‘Seafood Special.’” Now, I don’t speak French, but I know enough that I’m not quite sure that’s true. I respect him for being able to just lie like that though, very impressive.
