I've got a funny story...

All this talk about me plotting against pigeons (see forum topic: "Get in the car")...

When I proposed to Crystal we went to The River Cafe. Neither Crystal nor myself are into the whole fancy pantsy atmosphere and so here we are looking at a menu full of meaningless fancy words for food. Crystal says she just wants Chicken and there seems to be something on the menu that resembles at least some sort of bird... "Squab".

So i ask the waiter, "What's Squab?"
He tells us, "It's a delicious game bird, barbecued with a wonderful sauce, it tastes like chicken and it's very tender."
"Great, she'll have that, and I'll have the lobster." I tell Him.

The food comes, and we eat it up. That night I drove Crystal back to Luisa's house, where she was staying,... and I drove back to my apartment. That morning we had to wake up early to go to a friends wedding and all I had was 3hours of sleep... but I couldn't stop thinking about, "WHAT WAS THAT SQUAB?"

I wake up early in the morning and open up Wikipedia::SQUAB only to find SQUAB is PIGEON! I would expect to be fooled into eating pigeon at a chinese food restaurant...BUT at a fancy restaurant like the River Cafe?
