grey_poupon florescent light I was specially invited to a luncheon today by my professor. Free food, I thought- so I went. I sat at the table reserved for us students. All the faces were recognizable. I sat next to the girl I knew best. The food they served was deli, we made our sandwiches; ladled our soup. Everyone took their red napkins and put them in their lap. So, I did too. But silently I thought, I don't need the napkin in my lap. It's a sandwich, for god sake, - I eat them every day. We aren't at some Cinderella Ball, we are at college. And the woman across from me said, in such a way that only women who sincerely believe that a red napkins' rightful place is in the lap can, "Please pass the salt?" To which I replied "Get it yourself." 010221 ... Dafremen Good for you! Sometimes when we look at ourselves and look at what we are doing and can find no rational explanation for it except that everyone else does it, that's when it's time to try the OTHER way of doing it, just to see if that's the way for US.
