Early lunch today. Thanks for the blog reader who recommended River City Bar-B-Que on Cassaza. Trying their rib tip plate today.
You know, lately I’ve been wondering if there’s been too much Brick on this blog. However, in the past week I’ve had people come up to me and say, “I love the Brick quotes. Keep ’em coming. We want more pictures too!” OK, then I’ll keep going with the Brick quotes of the week, at least until she gets smarter, which is not likely to happen in the near future.
However, Brick is not the only quotable waitress at the Saucer. The others deserve equal time, and in this post, they get it.
Two Sundays ago, I was hanging out at the Saucer, playing pool. One of the waitresses asked if I had been to church that morning.
I looked at her incredulously and said, “The way I look at things, I’m in church right now.”
She seemed to like that answer. Then she asked, “Do you think Christians are cannibals?”
“What do you mean?” I asked back.
“Well, think about when they take communion,” she explained. “When they eat the wafer, they’re eating the body of Christ. When they drink the wine, they’re drinking the blood of Christ. Eating and drinking somebody? That’s cannibalism.” I had to admit, she had a point.
“Communion wafers are good, though,” she said. “I wish you could buy them in a box at the store.”
She thought for a minute, then said, “They could call them Jeez-its.”
