How could I have forgotten?

Friday: the redheads and I went to dinner on the way home at the new Japanese place near us. Steve and I had the same excellent experience as we had previously. [livejournal.com profile] sweh, of course, had his usual restaurant karma: his food didn't come out until we were mostly done, and the waitress spilled hot tea on his leg.

We have seen the Cosmic "Kick Me" and "Harass Me" signs; this needs a similar descriptor, but I can't think of one offhand, and I'm about to be late for class.

The comic (sorry, cosmic) "spoil my dining experience" sign is a little long, I suppose.

Yeah, conciseness is the key here.

("Conciseness" is a sucky word. It should be something like "concision".)

Oh, it probably is in American :-)

Ahhh...
