Well Pi, I didn't have to give this one that much thought..Much like the boy scouts, I am always prepared.

Well, I know that personally if I were in a social position where I had to dine with an enemy, especially if it were a FREE meal at an excellent hossin' establishment I would go..

BUT!!!

I would do everything in my power to make the other party's dining experience as unpleasant as possible!!!

There might have to be some subtly involved but that is what I would do..

Enjoy the meal and conquer a foe!!

Think of it..this is a chance to "take care of business"..

Hair in soup, tell them they've gained weight..spill my water on their meal..

oh yeah..

Cause that is how this monkey rolls..
