Why do they eat dinner at 4 PM, is the government saving money by ordering the Early Bird meal? I don't know if Early Bird dinners are well known anywhere else in the world, but in South Florida, large groups of retirees gather around restaurants and try to get inside just before the early bird prices expire for the day. Much of the conversation during the meals involve why the portions are smaller, why there is such a crowd, and why it is only a dollar or two cheaper than the meals served a little later in the day. To many of these people, saving a dollar or two is necessary, so when they fill the gas tank of their large new luxury cars with premium high test gasoline, they can afford the extra 50 cents a gallon! I HATE early bird dinners! The joke is that often if you go to the same restaurants a little later, you often get much more food, better service, and less noise, for a little more money.
