What if I told you that Andy Elliott was too shy to ask for water at a restaurant? Would you believe me? Well, he was. If he got his food wrong, or more water or whatever, he would tell me, hey, honey, will you ask for water? Crazy, crazy thing, right? Best salesman in the world. Too shy to ask for water.
