Fun with theists in restaurants.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Living in the buckle of the Bible Belt means living with odd reactions from people. Recently I made a purchase at the US Postal Service office near me. The total came $6.66. The counter clerk asked me if I wouldn't like to make another purchase, with the obvious intent of avoiding having to deal with "666". I politely declined and left. 

Then last night we went to a local BBQ diner and the bill came to $33.34. The amount of tip was obvious. Now I'm waiting to see if the final bill will be for $33.34 or $40.00. 

In the future I think I'll have some fun and tip $6.66 to everybody if the appropriate amount is at or less than that number. I'll be keeping score.

First one wouldn't bother me in the slightest... second one; I don't get.

I'm mathgnostic, so I use a calculator to find the tip amount. This time it came out to 6.666237 or something like that. So I went with $6.66 as the tip. Will avarice or need overcome possible religious hysteria? We'll know in a day or so.
