The Vegetables.
My first day on the rig out here, the tools hadn't arrived yet so a bunch of us all headed out to "Big Bob's Steakhouse", a highly touted restaurant in town. We drive through what looks like a dead end industrial park, and finally find the restaurant at the dead end. It looked like it had been built into an old corrugated steel warehouse ... or maybe it was always that way.
The restaurant offered ever steak in two sizes: Mens' size (16 oz) and Ladies' size (12 oz). I ordered a shrimp & scallops dinner, which came with a salad. One of the other engineers with me decided to skip his salad, and when no one else seemed inclined to want it, the waiter offered to double the size of my salad; yay!
When the salads arrived, the waiter came from behind me and placed my salad first. One of my dinner companions looked at it and said "Wow, that's big!" which caused me to look down and laugh, for i could only assume he was joking. But sure enough! The rest of the salads were served (swimming in dressing, which made me glad I had asked for oil & vinegar), and were precisely half the size of mine.
Ha!
