At dinner Saturday evening at The Pines restaurant we had a bit of fun at Mike's (newbie) expense. It was a great dinner and we all had fun and everything was on one tab for about a dozen of us at one long table. When our waitress came with the check we informed her that in our group it was customary that the most recent addition to our gathering (Mike) was expected to pick up the tab and that the good lookin' guy with the beard at the middle of the table was this newcomer. We asked that she kindly give the check to him while explaining our custom. As she did this and a look of progressive horror came over his face we all began to stand, thanking him very kindly for his generosity.... Mike looked very uneasy at this point... and we all began a hearty round of applause but we couldn't take it too far and we let him know it was just a gag.
Here's mike looking very relieved!!
