I rarely find myself in a setting where I have absolutely no idea what is going on.  Last night was one of those exceptions.
I went to Famous Dave's Restaurant.  The food, drink, and company were fantastic.  I ordered ribs, potato salad, and a tea.  Courtney accompanied my to this midwest favorite.  Tim missed out because he was working late on a project.  At one point in the evening, I got up to use the restrooms.  I followed the signs and found two doors.  One said POINTERS and the other said SETTERS.  I had no idea what this meant.  So, I waited for someone to come out of the doors so I would know which was the women's bathroom.  I waited and waited and no one came out.  Finally, I turned to the waiter who walked past me and I said, "I have no idea what a POINTER or a SETTER is?  Is that an animal thing?"  Without saying anything, he pointed to the little signs that said WOMEN and MEN above the door.  
I felt stupid, but come on!

There's a bathroom like that in Winnipeg at a restaurant called Pasta La Vista.... only they have pictures on the door of feet below a stall... high heels on the ladies, if I remember correctly and there are no words at all... Then on the other side of the door (once you are INSIDE the bathroom) is a cruel trick to make you doubt your decision to enter.. Yikes.
By the way, I guess I am a person who likes Neil Diamond and his "happy-hand-clapping" music (that's how I always think of it) How 'bout you?
I adore Neil and his sparkle shirts.
