Funniest Date Story/ Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

My new friend Vani said Bah Valentine's it's crass commercialism but for me any excuse to celebrate love is a good excuse so crass commercialism or not, happily coupled or otherwise, let's celebrate this day of hearts with smiles on our faces and sincerity in our hearts!

In case you still don't have that reservation here are some handy numbers for tonight! (These are the numbers in my book, hope they haven't changed!)

L' Opera, Fort Bonifacio - 889-3963
Caffe Maestro, Reposo - 895-7814

Antonio's Tagaytay - 0917-899-2866

Le Souffle Rockwell - 450-2993/5/6
La Vigne, Yakal - 894-1373

Meanwhile I want to share the funniest date story I've ever heard. A guy I know, let's just call him Mike, was on a first date with someone from work. He wasn't very in the know and she was supposedly a rich, sosyal girl, so he asked a friend where to take her and what to order. The friend suggested ANGELINO's. (Cracked me up just remembering this pizza place back in the day. It reminded me of everything '80s - the hair, the bangles, new wave, Faces, That's Entertainment, GMA Supershow, diet Coke (it wasn't Coke Light yet back then), Dawn Zulueta, Mikee Cojuangco and Swatch!) The friend specifically recommended the chicken.

They get to Angelino's. The girl orders soup, and he dutifully orders the chicken (skips soup and salad). They get chatty and the waiter arrives with a bowl. She pulls it to her and consumes its contents.

A few minutes later the waiter arrives with the chicken ... and a bowl of soup. Mike tells the waiter he didn't order soup and clarifies that it was only his date that ordered soup. The waiter looks at her bowl and says, yes that's correct.

The girl had just finished a bowl of gravy.

I think I involuntarily gagged after reading this post. =)

And now this begs the question --- why was the service so horrible that the time lag between delivery of the gravy and the chicken was long enough for the sosyal girl to finish up the gravy?

Now THAT is funny.

Now that's really funny!

Reminds me of a friend of mine from high school, who always orders extra gravy at KFC (back in the days when they didn't give free refills). He finishes his chicken, and then drinks all the remaining gravy with gusto....even offers us to dip into his gravy...yuck:D
