Hello.
Those of you, my personal friends, who know me, Mr. Saul, best, are well aware of my adherence to the 18th century adage, "waste not, want not" . I demonstrate my commitment to this philosophy with exemplar clarity when I take my son, William, to a restaurant for a first class breakfast - lunch combination, a meal often publicised as a Bee-Runch, a meal served in the Swedish smorgasbord tradition. It is important to remember that the implicit contract with the restauranteur is "all-you-can-eat", and not, as some patrons seem to believe, an "all-you-can-take" buffet. On this particular late morning, early afternoon affair, William asked me "when I leave the table, will my desert disappear?". "Yes, I told him, and then I promptly consumed it in its entirety.".
