THE INCIDENT OF THE BISTRO SIGNBOARD


On the last day of the APAC Summit the boss asked me to take the support team out to lunch. The team that worked many late nights and arrived extra early in the mornings to ensure that every meeting runs like clockwork certainly deserved a reward. I opted for a cosy, unpretentious French bistro not far from our office that offers set menus at affordable prices.

I’m afraid I cannot reveal the name of the restaurant or show you any photos.

You see, this morning I informed my boss that we’re going to lunch. Where? he wanted to know. I mentioned its name. He looked thoughtful for a moment and then said, “I think I might have broken their signboard this morning.”

Excusez moi, what was that again?

“This morning I was walking with my wife, we were talking and I clashed into a hanging signboard.  A piece fell off.”

“My head hurts now,” he complained.

“It wasn’t my fault,” continued the gentle giant, looking very depressed indeed. “Who hangs their signboard so low?”

And so I’m sure you’ll understand when I say that any photo that I show here will be condemning. Which is too bad, because the food was FABULOUS!

Did I take a photo of the chipped signboard?  Oui, bien sûr!

I have to add that my boss also hurt his little finger while he was packing up to go home this evening.

"This isn't my day today!" he sighed.

下半场 | 英雄回归

昨天逛书局时, 竟发现久违的英雄牌钢笔。你是否也用过?反正这就是我中学时期的回忆。赶紧买了一支。当然,墨水是必需的。 人生下的半场 做个简单的人  少于人纠缠 多看大自然  在路上见世界 在途中寻自己  知山高水阔 故云淡风轻  名山海可平 故风雨兼程  以如常为安 以如愿为喜 ...
