    My wife and I barely drink. We went out with friends who do and despite all four of us ordering the same appetizers and main course, our meal was $40 less than theirs was.

    Buying beer/liquor at restaurants is the easiest way to piss away money (quite literally).

    Which was the best take on the bill, simply because it added some perspective on something far more relevant, as opposed to the bill itself.

    His ninth car at least has some value, it's something that can be repo'd when he taps out.

    These meals are a load of bullshit. It's just guys fluffing up the bill in whatever way possible and it's a stupid and wasteful thing to do, especially in these times. Instead of ordering wine nobody really wants and food that won't be eaten, do something productive with the money.

    King was just pissed they didn't have any yogurt pretzels.

    I could run a $55k tab in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. BFD

    I'll be more outraged in 10 years when Bryant has 11 kids by eight different women.

    think he tried saying, ok i'll just carry Roy Williams' helmet and pads for the rest of the season.

    Fuck it. If the Cowboys want to blow $55,000 in money and trickle it down to the less rich, I'm all for it.

    Hopefully that waiter uses his new dough and subscribes to about 1,000 newspapers.

    For the record, the 55K bill is .065 percent of his salary.
    So if Peter King is bitching about that, he should be upset when someone who makes 30K a year spends $194.11 on dinner.

    I'm sure he can afford to wipe his ass with $20 bills, too. That's not the point.
