Daily Grin October 5
Friday off is not looking like a reality. I'm still gonna shoot for a part day though. We'll see. My car didn't leave yet. The pick up guy called me a couple of hours ago and he'll get it tomorrow.
I did get to use the AC in the new car. The "pizza oven on wheels" didn't have AC. It barely had ventilation. The interior cooling of that car involved parking in the shade, rolling the windows down and driving very fast.
Have a good nite.... see ya tomorrow!!! J

Rules for Dining Out
- Rule number one: If you're traveling, never ever eat in any place called "Mom's" -- well, unless the only other places in town to dine are named "Eats" and "Dirty Harry's".
- Rule number two: If you've entered a restaurant in the "Little Italy" section of the town, and you've noticed all the waiters are wearing shoulder hostlers, you'd better just leave.
- Rule number three: If you're waiting in line to be seated at a nice restaurant, you can always figure a wait of two hours or a twenty -- whichever comes first.
- Rule number four: If you're given a choice of tables by the maitre d'hotel, my suggestion is that you always request one near a waiter.
- Rule number five: If you notice that the tablecloth and the napkins are made of a better material than any suit you own, you'd better hope your credit card is not maxed-out.
- Rule number six: If you're in a fancy restaurant & you find you cannot pronounce some dish on the menu, chances are you probably can't afford it either
- Rule number seven: If you've been served bread & rolls while awaiting your meal, and you find the place is using a cheap substitute for margarine, you'd probably better just leave.
- Rule number eight: If you notice a bottle of Maalox along with a variety of other antacids among the condiments on the table, you'd probably better not order anything spicy.
