Ridiculous Things Overheard in Restaurants
Today we were eating lunch at Flying Tiger in Dayton Ohio. As an aside, I realized that we plan a fair portion of our travels around food, in today’s case adding 3 hours to what would have been a 1.5 hour trip in order to eat at Flying Tiger (which has great food in general and some of Jason’s favorite vegan Chinese dishes in particular).
To set the scene, we’re sitting in the restaurant with our friend Jacob, enjoying our respective meals. An elderly couple on the other side of the restaurant calls over the waiter. The husband points at the closest of the fish tanks and asks about “that fish”. The waiter walks over the the fish tank and points at a small fish. “No”, says the old man, “that big one a little farther over.” The waiter points at something else in the fish tank. “That one sir?” asks the waiter, to which the husband responds “yes”…
“Sir, that’s not a fish. Its a rock.”
We’re convinced that the poor waiter probably didn’t get a tip after pointing that one out. We tried might hard to keep straight faces, but have admittedly been laughing about it all afternoon. A rock!
Amazing! Only slightly more amazing than the man walking his dog while wearing a gorilla mask (?!?) we had seen the evening before in Columbus, nevertheless these are the things that make my day.

Dare I ask what you’re doing in lovely Ohio? And a little advice, if you like zoos, the one there is amazing. I don’t know where exactly, but it took a little bit of driving, probably less than an hour, to get there from the Detroit border. A very very good zoo indeed.
