AND SO YESTERDAY, MY WIFE AND I DROVE UP TO ILL. TO SPEND THE DAY WITH MY DAUGHTER, SON-IN-LAW, AND THE GRANDKIDS. WE HAD A WONDERFUL DAY AND I SUGGESTED WE GO OUT TO DINNER. I FIND IT BEST TO LET MY DAUGHTER PICK A RESTAURANT WHERE EVERYONE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE AND A 3 AND 7 YEAR OLD WOULD HAVE A GOOD TIME. A NEIGHBOR(apparently with no taste) TOLD OF A NEW PLACE, SO OFF WE WENT.

THE MENU DESCRIBED EVERY ITEM WITH FLAIR. I ORDERED A SHRIMP STCKED SALAD THAT SOUNDED DELICIOUS. IT WAS STACKED ALL RIGHT, EVERYTHING COMPRESSED INTO THE SIZE OF A SOUP CAN. MY SON-IN-LAW COMPLAINED THAT THE SOUP WAS COLD AND TASTELESS SO THE ANNOYING, UNKEMPT, AND ANNOYING WAITRESS TOOK IT AWAY AND NEVER BROUGHT IT BACK. MY WIFE ASKED THE ANNOYING WAITRESS WHY HER BREAD STICK COULD GIVE SOMEONE A FRACTURED SKULL. SHE NEVER REPLACED IT. THE THREE YEAR OLD DIDN'T FINISH HIS FRESH FRUIT, SO I TOOK THE BOWL AND WAS EATING THE GRAPES. ALONG CAME THE ANNOYING WAITRESS AND CLEARED ALL THE DISHES, INCLUDING THE REST OF THE FRUIT I WAS EATING.

WELL, THE CHECK CAME, AND AFTER A FEW WORDS WITH THE ANNOYING WAITRESS, HAD HER ADJUST FOR SOME OF THE FOOD ITEMS I SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR. I FELT 7% WAS AN ADEQUATE TIP FOR THE ANNOYING WAITRESS( MY WIFE FELT IT WAS 6% TOO MUCH). AFTER ALL, THE ANNOYING WAITRESS WAS PROMPT WITH THE WATER.

LUCKILY, THE MANAGER ASKED ME HOW EVERYTHING WAS AS I WAS EXITING THE PLACE.WEE, I RUINED HIS DAY.
