As to the waitress, does it help my case that she knows from waiting on me several hundred times that I am a good tipper and a low-maintenance customer who does not usually leer?

NotBob,
Not to interfere with the new schtick, but this morning I was reminded of you. Today I patronized the local breakfast establishment not far from my offices. Its location, name, clientele (and, sadly as it turns out, the food) were suitable enough, though nondescript.
My waitress had fine enough hair, I suppose, but I was more drawn to her red T-Shirt, which read:
HUSTLER
HARDCORE SINCE '74
Though tempted, I did not compliment her on the T-Shirt. I cannot guarantee that no leering was involved.
I was tempted to ask something like, "September 2003?" but was mildly worried that it might prompt a clutching of the "ER" and the making of a face that has its proper time, but not over an omlette and coffee.
It's likely that the food will not bring me back, but if I can obtain from the class suitable questions to pose to her as a sociological exercise, the T-Shirt just might.
