11. Reminds me of an incident in Mississippi

The town's first all-you-can eat Chinese restaurant had opened in, I believe, '94.

The town already had a Chinese restaurant since the '70s - but it was a fine dining establishment (goldfish aquarium in the foyer, costumed hosts and waiters and all).

Anyway - once, a big refrigerator-sized guy came in, and just kept going back to the buffet for more and more. And more....

Until the owner had to confront him.

"Why you keep going back? This your 7th time!"

"Well," the big guy protested. "It says 'All You Can Eat', don't it?"

"Yes - but that for normal people. You go NOW!"

And wouldn't you know it - this feisty, 5' tall Chinese guy herded a 6'7", 300+lb. guy outside without laying a hand on him.

We laughed about that at work for days.
