A friend just told me he was playing with some friends of ours. They got in trouble and the father took his sons to the wood shed. The father turned to my friend and said, "Do you want some of this or are you going home?" He said, I was history.
I had a favorite truck stop I'd hit when I traveled home to visit my parents that had a great buffet: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, the works. One time, there was a big fat fuque sitting there, chair pulled up, plate on the stainless steel ledge. The buffet was gone the next time I stopped there. -lg
The dad of a friend of mine would tell the kid when he messed up the the dad was going to kick his ass up between his shoulder blades and then kick it again for getting stuck up there.
I was thinking whoever wrote that sign saw that routine. Just about the funniest stand up routine I've ever seen, and it could not be done today, because he mimicked the owner's accent. "Why you no eat vejuttubbul? You scare my wife! You go now!"
Years ago, there was a restaurant that featured an all you can eat "Mongolian Barbecue" buffet near where I live. It did good business, especially on the weekends, for the first couple of years. Then the porkers moved in, ending their run.
The thought of going into one of those places just makes me sick. I cannot stand the repulsive, self-centered, morbidly obese slobs who make up 90% of the clientele. They're uncivil, uncouth, unclean, and disgusting. Watching them pick through the pizzas, licking their fingers between slices, does me in. Then the booths in those places are usually concave after about a month.
Although not quite as prominently displayed or as pointed a (broken engrish) message, I've seen signs expressing this same sentiment in a number of Chinese buffet-style eateries in my area. No wonder, for when my sons and their friends stop by for a quick bite, it looks like locusts mowing a field.

I had a similar friend. I was afraid to go on the property. I'd yell from the sidewalk if he could come out.

ReplyDeleteAbout 3 decades ago John Pinnett had a standup comedy bit about just that. He even used '4 hour.'
