My husband and two team members were rewarded for being the #1 with dinner at any restaurant of choice in the metro area and spouses were included. I suggested Sign of the Dove (shows how long ago this was!), but we were overruled with Windows on the World (not even Cellars in the Sky - but that's for another story).

I don't recall where it was in service, but one of my acrylic nails went flying off my finger and landed underneath the table. Hey, those things were expensive, and besides, I could fix it right there.

So, I'm looking underneath the table and realize it's too dark so I grab my lighter (another sign of how long ago this was)and use it to look around.

After 30 seconds, I still didn't find it, but smelled this awful chemical smell of "Ack! My thumbnail is on fire." Here I'm in the middle of WOTW on a packed Saturday night with a mini-torch on my right hand.

Thankfully, these were the "longer burning time" length nails and I extinguished it before the actual thumb was burnt.

Sirloin Saloon: Manchester, NH

The place is a sub-par dining experience that bills its food more-so than it should.

They do have quite the salad bar. So I go up to the salad bar and they have "squirt bottles" of oil, vinegar, balsamic, etc...I decide to dress my salad, when all the sudden the oil comes out like a firehose. The tables aren't exactly spaced far apart & it wound up over a poor guy in a Ralph Lauren button down. I apologized profusely, offered to buy him a beer, he declined and shrugged it off.
