Borgoguy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Haha, I think the Twain line was: "Denial is not just a river in Egypt." I love Mark Twain. That guy feared nothing. And of course he loved Abraham Lincoln. You know what they say about great minds. Wait, what do they say? To call Twain a visionary writer, humorist, satirist is a profound understatement. Very much like Chuck Trainor. Thanks for mentioning his name. I am sooo far removed from my college days that I don't read that stuff much anymore.

My friend - a Foxboro resident - knows this dude who did some painting work on her home....noticed her "patriots" themed tv room....so he told her the story of how he happened to have worked on Parcells' home. Negotiated a price. Settled. Work done. When he went to collect, Parcells shorted him $500 - but gave him an autographed picture of himself. LOL!!!!!

Mavrik Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well I don't know. Maybe Mavrik was just a really bad waiter. You bite your tongue. I'm never going to argue with a 20% tip. It was a good tip and when considering that they're bill was $150 that means I pulled $30 off of them. Not too bad. I usually walk out of this place with about $260-280 on a good night, 150-160 on a bad night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the golden rule. it's not what you make, it's what you keep I'm pretty much putting everything I earn away. I'll need as much money as I can in the bank for my move to Europe before the Euro promptly slashes my earnings by a third. It's funny that for me in college, a bad night waiting at Ruby Tuesdays meant I walked out with $25, here, other waitors don't want to work because they're "only" going to make $150. I'll happily take that money for them if they don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 at the restaurant I currently work at this summer in Nantucket, and had a nice couple at one of the tables. Had a little daughter with them. Very nice people. Never gave me any crap or anything. My boss knew them very well and had been chatting with them most of the night, so while they were eating dessert, I asked her how she knew them. She proceeds to tell me that the guy is Scott Pioli, VP of Player Personnel for the Patriots, and that the woman was Bill Parcells' daughter. Can't tell you how hard I wanted to write J-E-T-S jets jets jets on their check and hand it to them. Still, they were nice and left me 20%. Apparently he comes in quite frequently and every once in a while brings Parcells and Belicheck with him. should have had a FedEx guy come in and give them the check in a brown box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
