Haiku
Walk on concrete,
Live in concrete,
Heart of concrete.

I heard this bromide uttered back in the late '70s, as I and a couple of friends (known, for some reason, as "the Yambos") attempted to skip out on the check. All was forgiven when the cleaver-wielding Won got his money (and extorted a sizeable tip, as well). For our trouble we were favored with this sage advice.

That name has got to be a fucking joke. Please tell me you made that up!
Afterwards, did you get "Icies"?
I was in South Carolina and saw a sign outside of a Chinese Bar and Restaurant: "Tonight in the Lounge: Lohg Tan Kok." We ate at Cracker Barrell instead.
