    /// These two Interesting Strangers are seated

    in the Inn. By their waiter they’re greeted.

    A foul rumor has spread

    that the pair aren’t wed,

    which the three men in back have repeated.

    “We’ve got grog and glog.”

    “What’s glog?”

    “Yesterday’s grog.”

    Yes, most all the meals have a fly in them; why are you complaining?

    When eating there be sure to take a window seat. It’s the only way to see what you’re eating.

    Must be a cafe in small-town Wisconsin, home of the blandest food.

    ♫ Strangers in the night exchanging glances

    Wondering in the night

    What were the chances we’d be sharing love

    Before the night was through ♫

    He’d intended to plight her his troth./

    At the waiter he’s now waxing wroth:/

    No Michelin star/

    For this neighborhood bar!/

    For the table, in fact, lacks a cloth!

    The customer’s features harden./

    The waiter is begging his pardon:/

    “I’m so sorry!” sez he,/

    But don’t blame it on me../

    This isn’t the Olive Garden!”

    Now the customer’s rage turns to fear!/

    He’s been planning this night for a year../

    What if, after they’re fed/

    And the harsh things he’s said/

    They won’t take his Mastercard here ?!

    The night won’t turn out as he wishes/

    In an orgy of passionate kisses/

    She will sit unattended/

    And quite undefended/

    While he stands at a sink – washing dishes !

    His pals are predicting regret/

    They are sure that she’s more “pest” than “pet”-/

    But the fellow in brown//

    Says “she might turn him down-/

    He probably ain’t dead yet !”

    Interesting strangers

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Drinking glasses in art" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string Interesting, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly B4 paper size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2075 (11/6/18) (November 6, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 47 works by him have been used here (58 times total, including this Throwback Thursday, and 10 prior repeats), the November 6, 2018, strip being its first use. The May 20, 2024, strip has his most recent non-repeat.

    Some comments from 11/06/2018:

    BE THIS GUY: “Sir, I should advise you that it isn’t wise to bring your mistress to the same restaurant to which you bring your wife.”

    pcolli: “For twice the price, chef can put two dots of gravy on the edge of the plate.”

    Egrayjames: John and Emily, it has truly been a pleasure serving you all these years, but this will be my last night here. Tomorrow the pub is closing for renovations and I hope you will both enjoy the new Hooters that will be opening soon.

    Huckleberry Hiroshima: Time travelers have an awful time. At times.

    garcoa: This is an English restaurant, sir, only bland and tasteless meals are served here.

    Rev Phnk Ey: Just thought you might want to see the size of this cockroach I just caught in the kitchen.

    PO’ DAWG: I’ll have the thinly sliced potatoes boiled in hot oil. I hear they are quite the rage.

    Honorable Mention In The Banjo Toss: “We do nouvelle cuisine, so your portion will be, oh, about this big. But very attractively plated.”

    MissScarlet: What? Next, you’ll tell me you don’t have any guacamole and chips!

    The peppers were abusive and entertainingly hot. Today’s peppers were priced by weight in gold.
