Rainwater is being served, rainwater that has traveled 16,000 kilometers (9,950 miles) from Tasmania to be sipped by a dozen guests sitting in club chairs in a timber-framed house in a Hamburg suburb. In front of the guests stands a man who is on the short side, wearing a suit and glasses. Jerk Martin Riese, 34, is the maître d' at the Michelin-starred First Floor restaurant in Berlin. There, he created a water menu with 40 different selections -- something for the bored diner to peruse if their partner is monopolizing the wine list.

I thought this was the kind of BS job the recession was supposed to help wipe out. This guy should be laughing all the way to the unemployment line.

He's German, Ted, so presumably Jerk has no negative meaning there. Similarly, we British snigger at anyone called Randy because here it means 'horny'.
