by over-tipping pregnant
restaurant servers?

We can never have too big a reserve of good karma, nor can we over-tip servers…well done, man.

I can’t take total credit, as I was with a group of friends. Maybe we all get a little karma surplus?

probably not if you actually tipped one over (sorry… mind works in mysteriou ways)… I agree with Frank. You can always use more good karma.

Mikaelah, Clearly great minds think alike. As I read this, I imagined Howard tipping over servers as if they were Weebles. Of course, on the upside, if they were Weebles, they wouldn’t fall over when tipped. So, I guess it’s all good.

That’s a good one. At the risk of infuriating any pregnant women who might be reading, I’m surprised I hadn’t noticed the Weeble similarity myself.

For clarity’s sake, if I had meant what you were thinking, I would have just transposed “over” and “tipping” for the desired effect. ;)

yes, I got your meaning and could not helping playing with your words images…and I love the weebles that wobble but don’t fall down image…can you tell how ancient I am and that I sat in front of the tv and memorized the commercials? Early Zen training.
