Great series, Jerry. I missed the last strip, so thanks for sharing it.

Going solo is usually easier. : )
Right! But not always as much fun.
I've enjoyed your postings over the years.

Lesson, only go to lunch with people with normal eating habits?
I worked with someone who was totally indecisive. Four of us on a business trip had a three hour layover and went to the main restaurant at O'Hare airport. John asked the waiter to compare the first two items on the menu. He wanted to know why the waiter preferred it in detail. Then he asked him to compare that one to the third item on the menu. And on and on. He still hadn't finished when it was time to go to the gate. Nobody ate and the waiter was out three hours worth of tips, except that the other three of us left something.
When he remodeled his kitchen countertops he had the sample chips for over two years. The remodeler asked for them back, but John kept saying he was still deciding. For all I know, he is still deciding 30-some years later.

The three of you should have ordered and let him go hungry. And made sure he left double the amount everyone else did. And explain carefully to him why.
We had ordered. John kept going on and on and the waiter kept trying to help him.

"John, good friend, shut up so he can go put our orders in as we want to eat tonight. Then you can continue."

What does John do when stopped at one of those drive-in ordering booths?
Answer regarding those chips, "They don't make them anymore." Or "The company recalled them regarding materials used."
Not only would John never shut up, he was the boss. The two years he held that position were the only years that business did not show any growth (not surprising).
