Let's do what's right
You know, when I think of our grievous mistreatment of Taliban and al Qaida prisoners, I can only reflect on my own horrifying imprisonment. Just yesterday, my wife and I were forced to sit in a booth at John’s which had both sets of benches pushed entirely too close to the edge of the table. My sternum was only millimeters away from the table, which itself was much too high for dining comfort. In addition, the patrons on the opposite sides of the benches from both my wife and me subjected us to incredible torture due to their constant shifting and squirming, which pushed both of us into the very nearly sharp table edge. It was all I could do to finish my lightly fried snapper fingers, or for my wife to finish her soup and salad. NO ONE should have to suffer treatment like this! I demand that in the future we be allowed to eat at one of the tables with individual chairs, or that we be allowed a booth with enough space! I want my own Isomat!
