12/30/05 Grif.Net - Lunch at the Chinese Restaurant

[Dr Bob Griffin]

Back in Wyoming to 5 inches of ice and snow scraped off the car in the
airport parking lot. But when driving to a Laker's game on Wednesday, I
realized there were more people on the "5" (Interstate 5) than in ALL of
Wyoming. I'll take the snow.

Had lunch Thursday at a Chinese restaurant and son ordered the "Chicken
Surprise". The waiter brought the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as his wife was about to serve the family, the lid of the pot rose
slightly and she briefly saw two beady little eyes looking around before the
lid slams back down.

"Good grief, did you see that?" she asked Josh.

He hadn't, so she asked him to look in the pot. He reached for it and again
the lid lifted, and he saw two little eyes looking around before it slammed
down.

Rather perturbed, he called the waiter over, explained what had happened,
and demanded an explanation.

"Please sir," said the waiter, "what you order?"

Josh replied, "Chicken Surprise."

Ah... so sorry," said the waiter, "My mistake. I bring you Peeking Duck"
