Dining at Chili’s

September 29th, 2005

I kept forgetting to post this, as it happened about two weeks ago. I met up at Chili’s to have a late lunch with Michelle and her mom, dad, sister, and nephew, Louie. I ordered Tomato Basil Pasta at the Chili’s on Hall Road, in Sterling Heights. Anyway, the meal was great…I was getting to the very last few noodles when I noticed

A f*ckin’ penny!!! HOW GROSS IS THAT???? I immediately asked to speak to a manager. I told her that a hair would have been better to find than a penny. The penny could probably give me hepatitis or some other disease that is undesirable for me at the current juncture. She comped my meal and I asked if she’d comp my beer. She declined. I may carry this further and write the parent company of Chili’s a letter. I just think that is nasty, gross, and plain repulsive!!!

Reading a Jewish Newspaper

September 27th, 2005

Alex sent me this one to make it “even”:

A story is told of a Jewish man who was riding on the subway reading an Arab newspaper.

A friend of his, who happened to be riding in the same subway car, noticed this strange phenomenom. Very upset, he approached the newspaper reader.

“Moshe, have you lost your mind? Why are you reading an Arab newspaper?”

Moshe replied, “I used to read the Jewish newspaper, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage. Jews living in poverty.”

“So I switched to the Arab newspaper. Now what do I find? Jews own all the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is so much better!”
