Hebert and I decided to go to one of those Hoi Te Toytee LV Restruants the other day....I got all dressed up in my Sunday go to meeting clothes and picked Herbert up and headed on down to the local Bistro...It is one of those Linen Table Cloth type of joints that charge an arm and leg for mediocracy that they think is swell...but what the heck ya gotta live a little after all there is more to life than Buffets...

Anyway I am seated and I take Herbert out of my pocket and am tapping at his box .....Ohh I did forget to tell You all that Herbert is my pet Cockroach....anyway the Waiter gives me a funny look and a few minutes later the Restruant manager comes over to the table and tells me that I have to put Herbert away, that it has to do with the Health Code or some such nonsense... I explain that Herbert is my friend and that we are inseperable....The Manager by this time is getting a might upset...and says that if I persist he will have to ask me to leave... I reply, "Very well, come Herbert we don't want to stay anyplace that we are not wanted." To which Herbert says that he wants to stay....I said, "You WANT TO STAY very well than Herbert have it your own way"...to which I opened the box dumped Herbert on the table and smashed him into the table cloth with a resounding smack of my hand....I got up and as I was walking out said to the Manager, "I guess Herbert and I weren't such good friends after all."
