Well, I couldn't move because I was the assigned Table Captain for
that table. It's a long, boring story. But the comment would have
been hilarious--- wish I'd thought of it.
Duh, if you're the Table Captain then you order everyone ELSE to move!that table. It's a long, boring story. But the comment would have
been hilarious--- wish I'd thought of it.
been Table First Mate so long that I don't think
I'll ever get promoted.
He sits up there, the Table Captain, smug as can
be.
"Let's talk about recent discoveries in Science,"
he says, and the rest of the table trips over each
other trying to get out the latest half-remembered
article on stem-cells, or Mersenne primes, or body
thetans.
I'm tired of getting the slightly smaller cut of
prime rib. That bastard Table Captain has had a
power lock for too far long. If the Table Ensign
and I can't overthrow him together, perhaps I'll
transfer to another, potentially weaker table,
watch for a while, and then become their Table
Captain.
I will be Table Captain one day. It is only a
matter of time.
