I must admit defeat. It’s painful. But shit happens.<\/p>\n

So, yes, we did<\/strong> go to that Arabian Night dinner show (link<\/a>). Hey .. unlimited beer<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

I had it all figured out, I would get my own beer glass, and my wife, who doesn’t drink beer, would get ‘hers’, but pass it on to me.<\/p>\n

I was SURE I would have the place bankrupt (and out of beer) by the time the show started.<\/p>\n

But I hadn’t taken Jay into account: “I’m Jay, your server,\u00c2\u00a0and I will take care of you tonight”. BOY did he ever!<\/p>\n

Here I was sitting with TWO large glasses of beer in front of me. I REALLY started to like dinner shows.<\/p>\n

The problem was, that everytime I took a sip (read: gulped down half a glass), Jay would RUN up to us and fill my glass again. COOL! My wife’s remark to him that I would be in love with him by the end of the show didn’t deter him in the least.<\/p>\n

Since he kept my glass full all the time, I realized that my wife’s (read: MY OTHER) glass was getting warm, so I started to drink that too. And, consequently, Jay started to keep THAT one full too.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0I LOVE dinner shows!<\/p>\n

On the way back I learned from my wife that there were horses in the\u00c2\u00a0 show.<\/p>\n

I also realized that these people could have been BILLIONAIRES!<\/p>\n

If only they’d charged a ‘one buck’ entrance fee to the restroom!<\/p>\n

So, okay, they’re not bankrupt.<\/p>\n
