I got off work one night last week and went to my favorite
restaraunt. I had a bite of chow and sat talking to a few
friends who showed up. This couple came in with their grand-
daughter ( about 6 or 7 years old ). She sat eating quietly
with Gramma and Grampa. After a little while she got up and
started running up and down the aisle between the tables and
yelling at the top of her lungs. After about fifteen minutes
of this I started to get a headache. I turned around and 
said "Hey Goddammit, that's enough! That isn't what these
places are for!" I turned to Grandma and Grampa and found
Grandma looking daggers at me. Grampa just got a little smurk
on his face and finished eating. Grandma took the offending
screamer out to the car, but not before I mentioned the fact
that if the kid got hurt they'd probably sue the restaraunt.
Lucy (the waitress) wouldn't say anything to them because
she figured they wouldn't leave a tip if she did. She said
they probably wouldn't now anyway. That prediction was as
accurate as Annie Oakley's aim but that's okay. I left a
tip for them, probably more than they would have left. It
was worth every penny. Will I ever do that again? Yes, and
I hope the guardians of the "screamer" don't like it. I do
like to see kids having a good time but, not indoors if they
are going to be louder than my .44mag. Sorry to bring up an
old subject again but, I just wanted people to know they can
say something if other people get on their nerves. I did and
the problem went away.






Have a nice, quiet day,

Ol' Grouchy assed Tom.
