That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 26, 2019

Renee could sense she was going to get a lousy tip.

“I’m so glad we can all be together here, now that I’ve taken care of those two annoying young men in their white coats.”

Another case of dine and dash.

“I told the boss this outdoor seating was a mistake. That’s the third bunch that have run off without paying.”

Well, at least they left us a pot to tea in!

Too bad they left before I could serve the antidote!

Garçon, we need more napkins.

Guess we should have mentioned the bears

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name. No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same…..Ricky Nelson (There’s an ear worm for you!)

Even at “TEA PARTIES”, stuffed bears need to GO !

“Where did everyone go? I bet it was that b!&$. What did she do? What did she say?”

That should do it. Now for my amazing “PULL OUT THE TABLECLOTH WITHOUT UPSETTING THE DISHES” trick. (It’s bound to work one of these times…)

The Invisible man has a romantic lunch with Ms. Susan Storm

That isn’t even clever, calling Aunt Madelyn “ant man.” Sheesh.

When Elsa had a tea party for her imaginary friends, she was surprised at how much tea they drank.

Wow, when they feed the birds in the park, they go all out.

“I clearly have ‘cleared the bench’ "/ thought the uniformed serving wench/ “my deodorant’s failed/ and brunch is derailed-/ they’ve been driven away by my stench.”

Waitress deciding that joining the patrons’ political discussion, and telling them who you voted for was a bad idea.

Emma’s passive-aggressive streak was getting out of hand; setting up the family’s meal in the road just before the local factory let out.

The early ant gets the bird.

If anything goes wrong, we risk going subatomic (nuclear or critical).

They didn’t even bother to unfold their napkins before they descended like a horde of locusts on the smörgåsbord.

“Wow! The portions are HUGE here!”

Somebody needs to train this new maid on how to properly set a table!

“I get that you don’t want your old boyfriend to see you, but how long do we have to hide under the table?”

“I can’t see you, so don’t pretend to be there.”

It would be easier to get to breakfast on time if I didn’t have to get into this damned corset first. Also, it would be easier to eat breakfast.

Everyone wondered why Mrs. Potts & Chip hadn’t arrived at the family reunion yet. Was the train from the Beast Castle Station running late?

“Say Hello to my little imaginary friends!”

The annual meeting of the AHL (Association of Honest Lawyers).

hungry Hanna was dead set to trap a man any way she could, dinner on the road was a nice try but Hanna didn’t go to bed starved, just for sex, maybe she thought," I’ll not try vegan".

slow on the uptake maid waiting for the genie to appear from the teapot…
