You Write the Headline

July 11, 2006 in Other Stuff with 10 Comments

I had a breakfast meeting this morning. We were eating at the Perkins restaurant over by the Notre Dame campus. Great meeting. Good conversation. Adequate French toast. Super service. Only problem was that I walked out of the restaurant before I remembered that I hadn’t paid for breakfast. Not even sure what triggered the thought that I needed to pay, but I went back in, apologized and then left a big tip to try to make up for my indiscretion.

What if I had completely forgotten? What if they had called the police to come track me down? What would the headline have read in the South Bend Tribune?
