That's him, this guy is just plain cheap. He was loaded, I know how
much he made at work, and he sold his side business, a chain of pc
stores, for a ton of money. Like, I would have paid for lunch if
I knew he was going to leave a quarter.

Well, like you, that isn't my idea of a good time. I've eaten with

(laugh) Completely unrelated, I had this big honkin piece of kale
on my plate, my boyfriend stuck it under his plate. Forgot all
about it. Waitress took the plate away, it stuck for maybe five
steps and plopped on some guy's head. She looked so astonished,
we had trouble containing ourselves from going into hysterics.
