<p>LOL Joseph just related a similar experience he had last night in a Japanese restaraunt in Queens. Him and some of his mates went into the restaraunt for desert. That sounds wierd unless you like Mochi. Go figure, I will take my tea hot and in a mug. </p>
<p>Anyway the Sushi chef started griping about (in Japanese) about the marines and the US Navy in his home town. Joseph knew exactly what he was saying and waiting for his moment.</p>
<p>Apparently the table next to them offered to pick up their tab because they were in uniform. In a return of the gesture, Joseph ordered sake for their table. He ordered in very polite and formal Japanese. </p>
<p>He reported that the chef became very red faced upon hearing his Japanese and sent the sake to the table gratis.</p>
