[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2095363, member: 3854"] For those of you who weren't there, but are trying to keep score: Rel and Belen Umeria had to be all fancy and use plastic to pay for their meals. [I was surprised (and happy in hindsight) to find out I had cash in my wallet.] This apparently completely befuddled the waitress. She brought back everyone else's change, and their card receipts. Belen Umeria signed the store copy and stuck his copy in his pocket. After a few minutes of gabbing, Rel looked to sign his receipt. But the waitress had not processed it; he had only the original bill/check. When Rel pointed it out to her, she went to process it. She came back shortly, even more confusedled. She went around the table checking everyone, and discovered that she had given Rel's receipt to Belen Umeria, and BU's receipt to Rel. Rel and BU corrected the error by simply swapping receipts. That's when Rel got all convoluted and asked for coffee. Coffee! After our table was cashed out! The nerve! ;-) The waitress offered free coffee to everyone at that point. I didn't take the offer, but I got hot coffee dribbled in my lap anyway when the waitress passed cups over me. I still wonder what the people around our table thought we were discussing when we kept mentioning killings, demons, assassins, Cthulhu, and polishing rods. :-) Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
