Wistful Poet Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Party of one? Right this way, would you like wine or cheese with your entre? How about a dish of self-pity or a quick pick-me-up drink of woe is me? Here the check, please don't groan or mope over the price. We don't allow whiners; heed the sign.
