They are the greatest. While waitressing at a steak restaurant in KS, a large group of soccer kids came in with their snooty parents and grandparents. I got assigned the table and started taking orders. I got to the last gentleman and asked him what he wanted. He was a very overweight man in his 50's. (not that it's relevant to the story...) He asked me what was good and I said, "Oh I love our ribs. They're really great! That's what I get most of the time," to which he snarkily (is that word?) replied, "Well, that's obvious!" I maintained my composure for the next 15-20 minutes and when his stupid pork chop came up, I looked at my manager (who was aware of what had just taken place) with hope and he said, "I'm going to turn away right now and let you run that food." Without shame, I proceeded to hock phlegm onto his porkchop and then top it with garnish. That fat snarky idiot licked his plate clean... I told him he should have ordered the pork chop.

I want some chili right now and it's 9:44am. YUM!!!

One of my favorite restaurants to work at was "The Rattlesnake" here in CT (I believe it has now closed). But we used to serve fajita's. One night this very maticulous woman with huge hair and make-up sat in my section. And in her best Long Island accent siad " I will have the chicken fajoitas" Fa-Joi-Tas. Without missing a beat (or laughing) I replied (in my best Long Island accent) "Would you like your fajoitas blackened?" The best waiter comment I ever heard was a fellow worker who had an extremely needy table. Every time she brought something they wanted something else. Well, after six or eight travels to the table, with her hands full each time, one of the customers saide to her "You forgot the extra mayo" to which she replied "Well I asked Santa for a third arm, but he didn't bring me one." I could go on. I got a million of these sotries...LOL I (like many of you I am sure) was a waiter for many any years.

Many years ago, the Yale Cabaret even staged a live version that was HIGH-larious. Speaking of menu typos... ("Crabmeat RACCOON") ... our local delivery place advertises a "Low CRAB" section (as opposed to Carb), and Mr. B and I once frequented a diner that advertised "Chocolate Mouse". When we told the waitress about the typo, she took her pen and made the "u" an "o", so it then read "Moose". Bwah! OMG – HMDWL Grease II … fabulous!!

Once, my friend Amy went to a movie all alone (it was "Merchant of Venice" and it was a midnight showing near the University of Wisconsin campus)...so she decided to smoke a cigarette in the movie theater.

But honestly, how much do we love just Chili? And yes Sara, there are NO beans in our Texas chili. However, I do like a good bean chili. And I make a mean SWEET chili. You want to talk about insulin shock? 1/2 a cup of brown sugar and 6 tablespoons of molasses. Definately a chili that gets better as the days go by.... I too am making the Turkey Chili tonight.

My personal favorite was "Reproduction" because I was young enough to know it was naughty, but I didn't really understand what it really meant. However. I was old enough to know that Maxwell Caufield was pretty darn cute. I too spent some time memorizing Grease 2.
