'‘Because I said so' or ‘Just wait until you have kids of your own' section?'

6 Brothers Falafel

Careful, the plate's probably still hot.

"Compliments to the chef! Pass it on."

'No, I'm not the sommelier; in fact, I don't even work here - I've just always wanted to try this wine.'

"The after-dinner mint is the boss's idea. I think it's superfluous."

"Can I tell you about a few items that aren't on the menu?"

'I'm filling in for the sommelier. We have a fine shiraz today for only $39. It's 14.7 alcohol, a Class 1B flammable, so if I see you consume it near an open flame, I'll have to cite you.'

"Interested in some romantic punk rock during your dinner?"

"Have you had a chance to look at the menu?"

'I like a table next to the action.'

"Are you enjoying your escargot?"

"That's $3.50 for the dog plus 75 cents toxic cooking water disposal surcharge."

I'll pretend I know anything about our wines, if you'll nod and pretend you have a clue about what I'm talking about.

Pizza London Eye

'...and, after the chef's surprise, we have the cashier's surprise.'

"Guys, guys! He's pointing at me! This is great, I've never been picked first before!"
