Floyd got a little enthusiastic at the wedding.
         ”Uhh, Pete? Can we stop for some fried chicken? And some fries? And a shake? I gotta have a vanilla shake. You remember that, right, Pete? I gotta have a shake!”
         “No, Floyd, we can’t, we have to get across town. Remember the new job we’re checking out?”
         “Yeah, the new job... can we stop for a steak? I’ll eat really fast. I gotta have a shake with it though... which way should we go for a steak with a shake, Pete?”
         “Floyd, stop talking about food. We are not going to stop to get you anything, and I don’t know any place that sells steak and shakes.”
         “We could stop at a shake place first then the steak place.”

         “Yeah, we met when they cut the cake.”
         “I remember very well. It was supposed to be the bride that pushes a piece of cake in the grooms face, not the brother-in-law.”
         “Yeah, Carla got angry with me over that, but Tommy had told me that happens and I figured it didn’t matter who did it.”
         “Well, the bride feeds the groom a piece then smears a little bit on his face, she does not jam a paper plate full in his face and upper chest.”
         “It did get on your suit.”
         “I had to buy the tux, Floyd.
