  • Watching the plate of pasta catapult towards our waiter, Alfredo sauce splattering all over his apron and my brand new suit, I realized that my chance at a successful proposal was over. The idea of a romantic candlelit dinner and popping the question was no more. What do I do?

  • There was only one thing to do. I stood up on my chair and yelled “FOOOOOD FIGHT!” Then I hurled a coconut shrimp plate at the table next to us, and poured my drink on a passing busboy.

  • The busboy gave me a slap across the face. "Sir, with all due respect, we are currently feeding starving children in Africa. Please think twice before wasting food." The children looked at me like I was mad. The concept of wasting food was foreign to them.

  • “My bad, I’ll make sure to finish my food.” Momma was proud she raised a good boy. “And you make sure them African kids get none of ya food!” Pardon my mother, she was raised during the Potato Famine.

  • Considering the Potato Famine happened 177 years ago, she looks pretty spry don't you think? Her secret? That's been passed via a select line of Secret Keepers. I alone chose who will receive it next. Are you ready? Are you sure? Come closer. Let me whisper it to you. It's hooch.
