Don’t forget to tip your waiter…

Funny link I found on my friend Lori’s site about tipping waiters. Apparently there’s a gay waiter who’s a bit pissed off. I wonder why he’s mentioned the name Ben Solomon… I can’t tell if he’s dissing Ben or not. Ben is one of the wealthy gay men in town.
I also like the other post about “the richest people” who don’t tip. I remember back when I was roommates with Dennis Williams who was a waiter at the Black-Eyed Pea and at Houlihan’s, the people who never tipped him were the Christians who came to eat lunch on Sundays after church.

New York Overheard Yahoo Group

A yahoo group for New Yorkers to post conversations they’ve overheard on the street. My favorite message so far:

Pooh-bah: “No, I don’t believe we’ve met”
Japanese woman: (quietly) “Oh yes we have. On 9/11 when we were all trying to get away, you took my cab outside of Grand Central Station.”
Pooh-bah: Uncomfortable silence

UPDATE: I have to say, I like this conversation, too, though. “I’m like reading Ecclesiastices right now, man; it’s like not even a book it’s so interesting.”

Hmm. It’s so interesting that it’s not even like reading a book at all. Because reading just sucks so much, you know. And then they go on to pray to God to fill their heads with knowledge. Um, kids, THAT’S WHAT THE BOOKS ARE FOR. Knowledge isn’t going to magically appear in your heads, you actually have to go out and get it. Oh, nevermind.
