This is totally un-waiter related but important nonetheless. You know the Munchkin from The Wizard of Oz that says "As coroner I must aver, I thouroughly examined her, and she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead?" You know which one I am talking about? The coroner one? He died this week. Not only do I have a soft spot in my heart for Bitchy Waitering, The Brady Bunch, fried foods and The Olive Garden (kidding), my heart also goes soft for all things Ozian. His name was Meinhardt Rabbe and he was 94 years old. He always seemed like one cool fucking coroner and I hope he never had to wait a freaking table in his whole life. Have fun over the rainbow.

I knew Mr.Raabe very well.I worked at the retirement community where he lived.I was the painter and he used to steal 5 gal buckets from my shop.I never knew who was taking them until one day I went to his house and saw them,He had plants in them.The thing is,I would have given them to him if he asked!I would have taken them to his house for him!lol
I felt so bad for him when his wife died.He was driving and rear-ended another car,she died as a result of the accident.
Anyway,he was a trip and I am glad that I met him.Thank you for your post about him.It was nice.
