You would think so, but that hasn't been my experience when I have
dined at Hooters. Most of the Hooters girls are attractive, but
some definitely had their greatest girth around their waists, not
their breasts.

Why is it that whenever I hear a call to boycott some restaurant
chain, I already am boycotting the chain simply because the food
there is lousy? A friend of mine lives near a Ruby Tuesday. She
likes to eat there so I do on rare occasion. In the five or six
times I have eaten at Ruby Tuesdays, I have been disappointed in
the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
