u just have to laugh

J and I had a date Saturday night at The Tasting Kitchen, a fantastic new restaurant in Venice. Beautiful decor and wickedly great food, especially the pork rillettes. Unlike the last dining experience, you actually felt full.

While we were waiting for the bill to arrive, a couple was seated next to us. The chap was clearly trying to impress his date. He signaled the waiter to come over and asked that he remove the white wine glasses, since they would be drinking red wine.

When the waiter brought over the bottle, he asked the waiter at what temperature the wine was chilled. Sheesh. Then he leaned forward and told the girl that he normally orders $100 bottles of wine, so she shouldn't feel uncomfortable that this bottle of red was in the$150 range.

I really wonder if she went to bed with him later.
