So you're tired of the hostess glancing behind you when you ask for the crayons with no kid in tow -- I know I am. And making conversation while that food arrives can be so tiresome.
Help has arrived. Our new line of new line of Puzzles, Mazes, and Scribble Books for Adults will be available in
your favorite restaurant chain.

if a half decent half-baked idea occurred during the meal and you sketched it out on the table cloth, you'd get some funny looks pocketing it on the way out. |

You should get the paper and do the puzzles there, they usually give me my terrible brainwaves, plus you won't have anyone giving you 'the look' if you ask for the paper (in my experience, loads of restuarants let you have the paper).

By the end of the picture, we usually had something that easily would have gotten us in trouble, but I'll be damned if it wasn't too much fun. |

My favorite brother, had his entire bathroom wallpapered with end rolls of newspaper, that he would go and get for free. |

The object was to sit and be as creative as time allowed. |

I get in trouble if I do puzzles while I'm supposed to be
having polite conversation with people over dinner. I'm
not very good at small talk and polite conversation. |

I keep reading the E in Eat as an F - which gives me a great idea for teaching calculus to girls suffering from eating disorders. |
