Hi there
Well, when you work in an office on the overnights, somehow folks have time to think about meaningless things. For example, we started to wonder why
at a restaurant the expression "Check Please" is used instead of "Bill Please."
If you have any idea why this might be, you sure would make a lot of folks happy. Because once we get the answer, we can go on to think about other nonsensical thoughts.
Check Please
