Virginia, the tattoo waiter, and the pope in Johnston

A host tells a long story from a business-architecture conference near Washington, DC: dinner at Not Your Average Joe's with a tattooed waiter who spent fifty minutes describing his tattoos — including 'this tattoo effing means something — mom' on his thigh — and surprised them with a molten lava cake after 'do you trust me?' On learning they're from Iowa, the waiter claims the pope lives in Johnston — 'the pope is definitely John Steinway' — and gives an address that turns out to be Dan's house, setting up the pope-style advice bit.
