I drink iced tea with meals, a lot of it. Once as a joke, when I was at a meal on a ride with some buddies, I asked the waitress what tea cost. It was $2.99, and I told her that I thought $.50 was a fair price so she had better plan on bringing me six refills. I don't think I drank six, but she kept me full and earned a good tip. It's become a running joke when we go places.
A couple nights ago my wife and I went out to eat and when I asked for iced tea my wife said something snarky to me about getting my money's worth. The waitress looked kind of puzzled, so I asked the waitress how much tea cost. A dollar ninety nine. I told her a fair price is $.50 a glass and that I would need to be refilled until I reached that price per glass. She asked 'how many glasses will that be?'
Somehow that really saddened me.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
