[ WP ] A left-handed redhead sits at a coffee shop . He eats a Reuben ( too heavy on the sauerkraut ) and a watery dill pickle . He doesn ’ t look out the window . He pays for his meal with a worn American Express card . Before he leaves , he writes a note on the check in blue Bic pen . What does it say ?

The ginger haired man sighed into his drink. He ate the last bite of his Reuben, the pickle long gone. Savoring a chunk of sauerkraut on his tongue, his lean left arm fumbled for his credit card. 
 
 The waitress, a cute little brunette named Kristin, stops by just in time. The redhead had called the backwater restaurant beforehand, and requested Kristin specifically to wait on his table. He'd known Kristin for a long time; in fact, he was her history professor. 
 
 They would talk at the end of class every day for months, and he liked this old diner, as crappy as its food was. The cozy, warm atmosphere never failed to lift his spirits after a long day. 
 
 The professor stared into his table, paying for his meal, then beckoned to Kristin. He walked outside, holding the door open, as she ran into the back room to retrieve something. He slinked behind the diner, and she soon followed, holding a large tray full of shining lights. 
 
 Kristin set down the beautiful tray, engraved with fine jewels, on a small table outside. They ranged from amethyst to topaz to beryl, crowned with an elegant ruby. All the fine gems were inlaid in an intricate, carved steel tray. Even Kristin was not aware of the history professor's intents, but he'd paid a ungodly amount of cash for this day. Her coworkers were as clueless as she was. 
 
 The redhead pulled some kind of ointment out of his pocket. The small tub was emblazoned with a picture of a.. snake? Kristin was n't sure what it was. She was n't sure about anything anymore. 
 
 He lightly dabbed the cream on the central ruby of the tray. It instantly froze into green ice. The professor reached for a blue Bic pen that the waitress was holding with her clipboard, and jotted something down on the check. 
 
 *Set jewels ca n't melt eel creams. *
