    So everything everybody else does is stupid, but everything you guys do is wonderful? Well I’ve got news for you!

    How does that old saying go? “A fox can’t smell his own tail”.

    Now here’s what doesn’t make any sense. If they’re all getting the same thing, nothing more, then what’s the point of separate checks? Some are going to tip and some not? Or all not as usual.And running out of things to say, how many ways can you say “Pass the salt” or “More rolls, please?”

    Mikie… Surely you don’t expect that if a single check comes for all of them, they could somehow divide it in six?

    The two couples have enough trouble figuring out how to add two of the checks together….

    (And they don’t just get checks for three couples, because Verla is tired of paying for Jerry… With separate checks, if he “forgot” his wallet again, he’s on his own.)

    Also, complications arise… like the time Joy was served green beans, not the corn she ordered, and demanded a discount… that 80 cents would be spread mighty thin if the grand total were merely divided six ways.In fact, that day she paid her own bill, separately, so she’d get the whole refund….even though she hadn’t expected that, or brought enough money… so she had to get some from Burl.

    And heavens! What if Marlene has the $4.75 Chocolate Decadence cake, and Joy only has $3.99 Chocolate Meringue Pie?Or Jerry is the only one to substitute fruit cup for his vegetable ($1.15 extra)…Think, Man, think!

    Do I detect a little sarcasm from the waitress. I’m sure they don’t.

    Yea they’re in a hurry all right.. A hurry to scoff the meal down and get to dessert.!

    I suppose the other table is talking about the pigs at the other table that come in every Sun. and don’t say a word while eating? Just pigging out at the trough? How rude!But they don’t know the Penny’s do they, just by observing them from a distance. Kind of like a college course for mentally disturbed. They will be watching them for a year then turn in their observant papers. Still not being able to figure them out.

    Joy and Burl have no clue what life is all about.

    Personal note: I ask your prayers for my wife of 51 years who is having (her second) back surgery tomorrow. She will have L3 through S1 bolted together with titanium rods and screws. She had L4&5 put together 3 years ago, so that will come out and be replaced by the remodel. I swear that stuff looks like things you can buy at Home Depot, only 500 times more expensive!

    “Well done” would be more fitting for this group.

    Pretty comical that Joy, Marlene and Verl apparently all need separate checks. We always knew Verl did but I presumed Burl and Dale were Gentlemen, but this implies otherwise.
