HOW TO SCORE A FREE PIECE OF CAKE

While dining with Gerald's nephew Daren and his two children Emily and Eric, there was a birthday celebration at the table behind us which was accompanied by the restaurant's wait staff clapping, singing, and bestowing a large sombrero on the victim!

Naturally (well, it's NATRUAL with me) I joined in with the clapping and singing and then I arose, went to the table and wished the birthday honoree a happy birthday!

Shortly afterward, I was presented with a piece of birthday cake.

Gerald commented that it's interesting just how many times that my extending birthday wishes has resulted in receiving FREE CAKE!
