Simpsons in the Strand
'Lo Sugar
Hello, Honey
The last time I went to Simpson's, the maître d' discreetly handed me a couple of ties.
'I think you might need one of these, sir.'
'No, thanks. I'm fine as I am.'
'We beg to disagree, sir.'

Last time I went to Simpsons was when my Dad took me to dinner to celebrate me graduating with my PhD. The staff said they didn't have a table for us in the restaurant proper, although we could have something in the bar. We were a bit surprised as it was only Thursday.
We chatted to the girl at reception for a minute and she suddenly said she would see if there was a table. It appeared there was. In fact when we walked in the dining hall, the place was half empty!
My dad went off for a pee, then when he came back he said: "I don't think they were fully booked."
"Nor do I," I said. "The waiter just asked if 'my friend' wanted some bread too."

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is such a masterpiece. And of course it makes me think of The Odyssey.
Hello, Honey
And The Odyssey makes me think of Ulysses - although I completely forgot Bloomsday this year. Must be getting old.
