Good morning crew,
So for Valentine's Day I took the gf to a restaurant we have
both been wanting to try called Pappadeaux. It is a Cajun
seafood place that I have heard good things about.
Unfortunately, they refused to take any reservations. Not
normally, only on Valentine's Day for some reason, but I
figured, what the heck? If we got there nice and early how
crowded could it be?
Well, when we got there at five p.m. there were so many
people standing in the reception area that they had locked
the front doors to keep any more people from walking in.
But with a surreptitious use of the side door we managed
to cram our way past a solid phalanx of slavering customers
mobbing the hostess stand to put our name in.
The wait time they gave us was three hours, but since we
had already elbowed out a little corner to ourselves close
to the bar we decided to wait things out a little bit and
see how fast the tables turned over.
You see, my thinking was that most people, by that time,
were just walking away and going to the McDonald's across
the street. Plus, after ten minutes or so we actually got
seats right at the bar, so I was more inclined to stay.
The turnover was a little faster than expected and in a
mere two hours we were ushered, swaying slightly under the
influence of four six dollar Margaritas and three nine
dollar Swamp Things respectively, to a cozy little table
right in the cross breeze of a poorly insulated window and
the front door.
To be fair the waiter was apologetic about the wait time
and the fact that the location of our table was fifteen to
twenty degrees colder than the rest of the restaurant, and
to make up for it he brought us a complimentary basket of
bread which every other table in the restaurant got. So we
were amply mollified.
The food was good, and after a couple more glasses of wine
I didn't notice the numbness in my fingers so much. Even
so I would have been much less satisfied with the whole
experience if it weren't for the opportunity we took to
steal a couple logo beer pints.
Now that's a successful Valentine's Day.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Don goes into business for himself. He buys a hotdog cart
and sets it up in a prime spot on a busy downtown corner,
right near a large bank.
One day, his friend Jim approaches him and asks Don if he
can lend him some money.
Don refuses.
"But why?" asks Jim. "Everyone knows you're doing well, and
I'm not asking for much."
"Well, Jim, in order to get this spot I had to sign a Non-
competition Agreement with that bank over there. According
to the terms of the agreement, they don't sell hot dogs,
and I don't lend money."
*-------------- Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes ---------------*
A flight instructor was sent out to help a trainee who had
radioed that he was about to make a forced landing a few
miles from the base. The instructor spotted the plane
standing in a field small enough to present a real challenge
to his professional reputation.
With determination, full flaps and engine just above the
stall, he maneuvered into the field. Climbing out, he shouted
angrily to the trainee, "Just how did you manage to get into
such a small field?"
"I landed in the big field over there," the trainee pointed,
"but in order to leave room for you, I had the farmer tow me
here."
