One time, Katie and I went to Chinese buffet.  After we walked in the door, we waited for a few minutes and no one seated us.

We started to look around at the buffet itself, to get an idea of what food was there.  Suddenly, a few Chinese people appeared from the back, where the kitchen was, and started shouting at us.  They told us, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of food and to leave.

It was a bizarre experience.  A buffet, out of food?  If you can’t count on a buffet having an unlimited supply of food in this world, what can you count on?
