Dumbwaiters Why are they called Dumbwaiters and Lazy Susan?
The things that are called dumbwaiters and lazy susans. I was wondering
Dumbwaiters came from along the time that those things were installed in hotels for the cooks and staff to easily get food to the hotel rooms. Reasoning to do this was the waiters or room service nowadays were getting orders mixed up. Thus the name, and pun on the waiters, dumbwatiers.
Lazy Susan though supposedly came from the person who made it. Story says that the guys wife wanted an easy way to distribute food on the table without having to get up and pass out the food and/or second helpings across the table so she could enjoy her meal. That and so everybody could help themselves. =P Being the kind husband that he was, said she was lazy, susan, and the name stuck. =)
i just made all that crap up, but it makes sense. XD
