Nonetheless, it adds a pleasant touch to the dining experience...
...Dick Albert--is that his name? Do you watch the local news? Probably not. There's a weatherman who cracks me up. He's so happy, no matter what's going on in the world or his life. You'll enjoy his work--really, he seems like the most one of the happiest people in the world, you know...
