A priest, a minister and a rabbi were arguing about when life begins. The priest started: "Life begins at conception!" he said. The minister replied, "No, that's not right. Life begins when the fetus is viable!" Then the rabbi chimed in: "You've both got it wrong. Life begins when your kids move out and the dog dies!"

Hmm... I have met quite a few recent high school graduate wait persons at restaurants here in Los Angeles, where their general grasp of reality, science, and the arts approaches that of a fifth grader of olde. De-education, and the concept of managed babysitting is alive and well here.

Of course, these kids can misspell like mad on their smart phones. Nw spk stpd.

When the uneducated reproduce, yielding more greatly stunted children, eventually the concept of "life" will have to be redefined.

Thank God for fast food restaurants. At least the idiots we are raising can get work. Nobody needs an education to ask "do you want fries with that"?

But you confuse them if you ask for a special order or give them $10.25 for a $6.25 order where they can give you 4 ones back without the loose change.

Unfortunately, I am referring to DINERS, not fast food joints. Only at diners or regular restaurants can you actually get the measure of the wait staff's lack of education.

This has been happening for years. If you are near my age, 70....and you graduated normal high school, you are equal in inelligent learning as someone in the late 1990s to 2012 graduating college. Except you might know more of geography and where other countries are on a map and their capitals.

They can also measure you as they spit in your food. Arrogance breeds animosity......

Years ago, in Des Moines, we used to frequent an all night diner that was a favorite of the late night crowd. Their specialty was huge, plentiful breakfasts with almost any side order you could think of. It wasn't particularly fancy, and all the waitresses reminded us of our aunts or mothers but what always amazed us was the fact that none of them made notes of any kind on the items we would order. They'd just stare at us like they were bored to death and remember everything in their heads. All the waitresses did this. Noone advertised it, there were no special prizes if a waitress ever got anything wrong, they just did it and if you asked them about how they did it they just say something noncommittal and change the subject. We'd always spend about double what we should, adding extra side orders and trying to confuse them. Then after the meal we'd all leave hefty tips that were appropriate for the quality of the magic show we'd just witnessed. That place used to always be packed.

I think those days are gone now.

BUT their cash register does not have $ and cents keys. It has keys with icons of bugers, fries, etc. This is not a joke but a fact at Mc Donald's.
