A group of 15 year old girlfriends discussed where they should
meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should meet
at the Dairy Queen next to the Ocean View restaurant because they
only had $6.00 between them and Jimmy Johnson, that cute boy in
Social Studies, lives on that street and they might see him and they
can ride their bikes there.


10 years later, the group of 25 year old girlfriends discussed where
they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they should
meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the beer was cheap, they
had free snacks, the band was good, there was no cover and there
were lots of cute guys.


10 years later, at 35 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that
they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the cosmos
were good, it was right near the gym and if they go late enough, there
wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.


10 years later, at 45 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that
they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the martinis
were big, and the waiters there had tight pants and nice bums.


10 years later, at 55 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed they should
meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was
reasonable, the wine list was good, they had windows that open in
case of a hot flush, and fish is good for your cholesterol.


10 years later, at 65 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because lighting was
good and they have an early bird special.


10 years later, at 75 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because food was not too
spicy, the restaurant was handicapped accessible and they even had
an elevator!


10 years later, at 85 years of age, the group once again discussed
where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they
should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never
been there before.
 
The Leprechaun Hook


Here's some capitalism spice:

A family-owned Italian restaurant opened right next to a family-owned Chinese restaurant in Haddonfield, New Jersey (USA).

The two restaurants were engaged in a heated competition and needed to draw in customers so the owners met and agreed to hold a competition: whoever could draw in more customers on Super Bowl weekend with a Leprechaun (the Irish folklore fortune-hunting mischief imp) mascot on its front side sign could declare itself the Leprechaun victor for Super Bowl weekends in Haddonfield.

The Italian restaurant owner had some difficulties, knowing full well that Irish culture was historically contrasted to Italian culture. The Chinese restaurant owner had some difficulties too, knowing full well that Chinese restaurants may not fare well culturally with an Irish Caucasian avatar mascot. Nevertheless, they both went ahead with the competition.

When Super Bowl weekend came around, the Chinese restaurant was the clear winner, drawing in large crowds intrigued by why a Chinese eatery would feature a welcoming Irish Leprechaun for a Super Bowl themed restaurant competition.

The Italian restaurant owner conceded defeat but proudly noted to the Chinese restaurant owner, "You won because of the novelty of the Leprechaun. People simply did not expect an Irish avatar on a Chinese restaurant sign for Super Bowl weekend." The Chinese restaurant owner replied, "The Leprechaun was more interested in our fortune cookies than in your garlic bread."

Would the lucky Leprechaun see the Chinese restaurant through to long-term success? This sort of issue can create stories ripe for the lunatic.
