The waitress who was the intended target of the announcement as a open the dialogue kind of thing, came back w/ ' yeah , you can't even share a toke b/c the quality is so high , you'll get a headache '
Ta-da , got you , I didn't even have a comeback - ordered our drinks.

" we are moderately certain that a moderate change is good '. Love it. We'll see said the Zen master.
