    Saturday afternoon delight , Try your luck

    There seems to be a lot of us just lazing away the day here.
    I'm having a sinus attack so its hard to do my home job ,
    What I purpose is a short literary quiz for any that want to try their luck.

    These are names and terms to famous books , See if you can get
    any of them WITHOUT USING GOOGLE OR YAHOO

    Good luck

    How about something easier for my tired old Waiter brain?

    1, Your bill for a dinner party of three is $87.50
    How much do you tip your Waiter?

    2, You are proposing to the love of your life and the Waiter is spot on
    Time bringing the ring on the silver tray.
    How much do you tip the Waiter?

    3, You go into a restaurant and none of the service staff speaks English
    What do you do?

    I can be forgiven for not knowing #1

    That was the movie playing that day when pretty little Lori went to the movies with me.

    We sat way up in the back of the dark theater.

    Amazing how long a smile can last eh?
