Entertainment

I went to this most extraordinary arrangement last Friday. A local Gasthaus had invited about 350 people for dinner and a promise of some entertainment. The people consisted of local self-employed industrialists with families and people living in the neighborhood. I was there because Frank's mom lives nearby. That means, I was there for feeding. Live band, welcome drink, buffé and a master of ceremonies whom I would not having for toastmaster even under gun threat. Although he seemed to be a nice chappie (he had a moustache), I bet he is gifted with other nice qualities than verbal ones. It was all free, and I suppose one becomes a little more forgiving than what's normal. Food was nice, and we all got three beer/wine tickets each (which I spent on Pepsi in respect of my drivers license and dads BMW) in order to fully appreciate the lousy speaker and the false singing waitressess (they were most certainly forced to do it). Anyhow, after actually trying to understand and being at the spot for several hours, I am still totally unable to understand what they gained from this. I think most people (at least the ones who sticked to their three tickets) felt embarrassed and. It is not as if I feel that I would like to eat there more often. The place is located next to the super highway and naturally aimed at attracting tourists. I don't suppose anyone changed their opinion after this night. Who would ever like to risk facing that man with the moustache again?

Moreover, the singing waitressess got me wonder. How come you are always assumed of being able to sing in tune just because you are a woman? I got the question once "So, you sing in the band?" "No I play the bass guitar" "And sing?"
