Life
is Like a Box of Chocolates
By Steve Isaacson
Recently, my daughter Misty and I strolled into Manhattan’s
Times Square looking for a good matinee. No problem ... we settled for two seats
in row six for “Phantom of the Opera” at the Majestic Theatre, and then searched
for a place to kill an hour before the 2:00 PM curtain.
Aha!! Right on the corner of 44th Street and
Broadway was a restaurant called “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.” Sounds like a scene
from “Forrest Gump”! We went in, sat down and picked up a menu. Lots of shrimp,
burgers and chicken ... the works. But ... chained to the table ... and I
do mean chained ... was an authentic Stiga Paddle with the exotic drink
and dessert menu attached. (You’d need a wire cutter to take one!)
