Tina's birthday dinner @ Saltgrass - a photo on Flickriver

            Left to right - me, Jo Ann, Tina, Adam, his daughter Rachel, and his sister Becky. Not pictured in her chair beside me here (because this is her picture..) is Paulette. 

The food was good and the conversation was good too. The service was so-so, I'm afraid, as as you can see by all the dishes left on the table even after to-go boxes were filled and the bills paid. Clearing the table is especially important (and difficult) with a large party, because space at the table is limited. 

When the waiter picked up the menus, I handed him the drink menu too. He tried to hand it back to me, saying "It stays on the table". I refused to take it, saying "Where?", as the table was already full of drinks, silverware, and bread platters, and I knew we would need as much room as possible for all our plates. 

Confused, he tried again to hand it to me again, repeating that "It stays on the table.". Again, I refused to take it from him, dodging it like the letter Governor Perry tried to hand to President Obama at the airport. 

"Where?" I repeated, nodding at the full table.. He eventually wandered off looking for a place to deposit the drink menu like it was a dirty diaper, and no doubt mumbling to himself, "S'posed to stay on the table..".

I thought it was funny. Not sure the waiter agreed..
