	Just to beat a dead horse...

	I was playing piano in a nice restaurant last week when this 
guy at the table in front of the piano makes a call.  He seemed to go 
to a great deal of trouble to make sure that everyone in the 
restaurant understood how important his work was.  This was around 
9:30 on a Friday evening with a lovely dinner guest at his table. 
Time to get off work and move on to more important business if you 
ask me!
