Rare Keith1010 Posted February 8, 2023 #3353 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I didn't want to waste this clip art since I used it on another thread. Sometimes when someone asks you a question it is polite to say you go first. \\\\\\\\\\ Speaking of first one of my all-time favorites since it involves Baseball is: And while they don't ask you to go first they do know who is one first. And that's all folks. Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty LOL... I love that carpet (for hospitality applications)... But I spend my life working in hotels and convention centers where crazy carpet patterns are a requirement, so I gave up doing the Rorschach test on them years ago. 🙂 I admit I've totally gone numb to them.

On the last day of the cruise, your waiter would give you a folder with all of the dinner menus from the cruise. If memory serves, for several years those would be given automatically to all passengers, but towards the end you would only get it upon request. Glad I saved some of mine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
