Pinches Bakaleiko: The Man Who Couldn't Stop Saying No




I've heard the name "Pinches Bakaleiko" before. He's the guy who says no to everything.
"Want to go to the movies?"
"No."
"How about dinner?"
"No."
"Can you help me move a couch?"
"No."

At first, I thought it was just a joke. But then I met Pinches Bakaleiko in person, and I realized that he was serious. He said no to everything.

  • "Pinches, can you pass the salt?"
    "No."

  • "Pinches, can you help me with my homework?"
    "No."

  • "Pinches, can you marry me?"
    "No."
I was starting to get annoyed.
"Why do you always say no?" I asked him.
"Because I don't want to," he said.
"But that's not a good reason!" I said.
"It's a good enough reason for me," he said.

I didn't know what to say. I guess he was right. He could say no to whatever he wanted. But it still didn't make sense to me. Why would anyone want to say no to everything?

I decided to do some research on Pinches Bakaleiko. I found out that he was born in a small village in Poland. His parents were farmers, and they worked very hard to make a living. Pinches was the youngest of five children, and he was always the one who said no.

"No, I don't want to go to school."
"No, I don't want to help on the farm."
"No, I don't want to eat my vegetables."

His parents didn't know what to do with him. They tried to punish him, but nothing worked. Pinches just kept saying no.

Eventually, Pinches' parents gave up. They realized that he was never going to change. They just had to accept him for who he was. And so, Pinches continued to say no to everything, and his parents continued to love him anyway.

Pinches moved to America when he was 18 years old. He got a job as a waiter, and he continued to say no to everything.
"No, I don't want to take your order."
"No, I don't want to refill your coffee."
"No, I don't want to clean up your table."

The customers were furious. They complained to the manager. But the manager couldn't do anything. Pinches was a hard worker. He just didn't want to do anything that he didn't want to do.

Pinches eventually became the most famous waiter in the world. People came from all over the world to see the man who said no to everything. They wanted to see if he would say no to them.

And Pinches never disappointed. He said no to everyone.
"Can you sign my autograph?"
"No."
"Can you take a picture with me?"
"No."
"Can you give me a hug?"
"No."

Pinches Bakaleiko was a legend. He was the man who said no to everything. And he was loved by everyone.
So, if you ever meet Pinches Bakaleiko, don't be surprised if he says no to you. It's just who he is. And it's what makes him so special.
