__________________________________________ I guess, that's been going on for years down there. I was at SSM, 7-8 yrs. ago., working on my seat rating and honest to god, that was the first thing I was told! I've heard stories of a lot of 'cheap shot' tickets out of Martindale. Chuck

Useles fact: Although he wanted to spoof "Thriller", Michael Jackson wouldn't let him do that one song. So he made "Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters From a Planet Near Mars" _____________________________________ I remember now, after your jogging my memory. As I recall, Michael was really 'proud' of his 'Thriller' album. Spent millions on videos for it and decided that Weird Al wasn't going to 'mess' that one up. Chuck

"I'm Fat!" or "Eat It!" Those are the only two that I remember... Or did he also do a knock-off of "Thriller" too? _______________________________________ Nope. He never did 'Thriller'. If, he had, it would've been funny. His Dad, is a popular Polka band leader and also plays accordian. Weird Al, took the Accordian to the edge. Chuck

_______________________________________ I agree! why, do folks take it out on the waiter and not tip when in fact, it's the cook's fault? Waitstaff, relies on tips. The average hourly wage for a waiter/waitress is about $2.85! Some of them are trying to raise kids. Meanwhile, that high dollar chef gets off scott-free. Chuck Make that about $2.15 and hour...and I work in a nice place... Sure, leave no tip, I'll remember you when you come in next time...and I'm the last one that sees your food in private before it reaches your table... just kidding... ____________________________________________ I was guess-timating the hourly wage that wait-staff recieves. Thanks, for straightening me out. I've known many waitresses and waiters over the years. Too many waitresses are single moms raising a couple kids. I was married to a waitress who, for too many years was on her own with 2 - kiddoes. They rely on tips. I cannot recall ever, not tipping. Waitresses and waiters have bad days, sick kids or a little league game they should be at. They work long hours and a lot of holidays. They take a lot of crap too and most I've seen, do it with a smile. My hats off to them. Chuck

'Tell Me' by The Rolling Stones'! I was talking with a rather attractive brunette, when that song came on her transistor radio. I thought that, that song was the best I'd ever heard! Been a fan of the Stones, ever since! Chuck

______________________________________ I think, it was the fact I wouldn't wear that stuff. Things might have been better if, I had tried it. Also, the hours! Sheeesh! edit to add: I made the prostitution thing up... Chuck

A young farm lad get's up one morning and heads for the kitchen for breakfast. Mom, stops him short and tells him he has to feed the animals. The young lad feeds the chickens and on the way out, kicks the rooster! He then feeds the pigs. On the way out, kicks one! Same with the cows! The boy goes into the house and sits at the table, only to find a bowl of dry cereal! He asks his mom; 'What's with this?' His mother informed him that she had seen what he did and that for one week, no eggs, bacon or milk!' Dad comes down the stairs and kicks the cat half-way across the kitchen. The boy looks at his mom and says; 'You want me to tell him or do you want to tell him?' Chuck

I prostituted myself but, that didn't work too good so, I went to my checking account.

You just made me snarf my Fresca. _________________________________________ Sorry, Mama. Chuck

O.K. I have a question along these lines... (this thread is turnin' shitty... fast.) anyhow... why is it, we chew our food, right? Yet, corn and peanuts are always whole. What's with that? Chuck

__________________________________________ Don't tell me... you also check it out to see how fast corn goes through? Chuck

Get-up out of your chair, abruptly. Barge into the kitchen and scream for the chef. When he approaches, throw that nasty crap in his face and tell him what a no-cookin', S.O.B. he really is and that you will never, enter that restaurant again and that he can look forward to legal action! Turn-around and stalk out, angrily throwing your napkin on the floor as you pass through the front door of the joint! Naw! you don't wanna do that. Just take it out of your mouth with your fork, place it discreetly on the side of your plate and continue eating. If, you are really grossed-out... follow the previously mentioned course of action. Chuck

But the tip is for the waiter. He has no control over the quality of the meat. He should still get a tip. _______________________________________ I agree! why, do folks take it out on the waiter and not tip when in fact, it's the cook's fault? Waitstaff, relies on tips. The average hourly wage for a waiter/waitress is about $2.85! Some of them are trying to raise kids. Meanwhile, that high dollar chef gets off scott-free. Chuck

_________________________________ That's INCREDIBLE! Chuck

_____________________________________ You know what? I have been watching some of the All In The Family reruns and am amazed at the amount of racist or bigoted language spoken by Archie. I don't know if that was the norm back then and probably think it's a lot more politically incorrect these days. I'm sure if a new show started with the same type of language, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be all over it screaming "RACIST!" All the same, Archie was extremely funny at times. ___________________________________________ Keep watching! You'll love, the episode where Sammy Davis jr. kisses Archie! That show, was so far ahead of it's time and it brought-out the fact that bigotry exists and racism is alive and kicking. Great, great show. Jesse Jackson has his good points but, Al Sharpton, is a former drug dealer who 'got religion'. Anyone recall the set-up of his where he claimed a young black girl was 'gang-raped' by several whites? All a set-up and he skated. His word means spit! Chuck

_____________________________________ Wouldn't miss it! A lot of research went into that program and they've tried to keep it as historically correct as possible. Chuck

I do believe the quality of TV shows started going downhill with the Married With Children show... _____________________________________ There were GOOD TV shows on at one time. 'All In The Family', 'M.A.S.H', 'Golden Girls', 'Gunsmoke',... Now, it's like the Springsteen song; '57 - Channels... Ain't Nothin' On!' What's 'real' about reality shows? Reality is not scripted! Chuck

Will Rogers, was an American cowboy of Caucasian/Cherokee parents. He turned orator/philosopher and died in a plane crash in Alaska in the 1930's. He was noted for his humorous outlook on life. He is best known for having said; "I never met a man, I didn't lke!" I don't believe, he had any idea as to the existance of the Muppets. I'm sure, he would've liked them. P.S. I think, he said it quite well. Chuck

I believe, it was Will Rogers who said; "Sex is over rated and under achieved!" Chuck

__________________________________________ Of course it will! It's just the way it is with the left wing liberals! (That said, let's see how long before it gets moved to... SC) Chuck

Considering the nice tips I've gotten, I must have stumbled into doing something right. Or maybe it's just because I'm the only packer with boobs? _________________________________________ You are probably correct in your assumption. You definately, have the edge. Chuck

Sounds like you are doing the same thing I am. Seems to work well. __________________________________________ So far, I haven't had any complaints from my clients. I have in fact, had folks ask me to show them how I packed their Sabre so they could get nice openings. From what you've said, I believe, you've got a handle on it! Chuck
