Huggy Bear

A Filipino restaurant I frequented in latter days has reopened its doors in shopping center.  It now resides in what formerly was a mexican market, and before that a tomb stone shop.  As I was picking up a dish of curry to go the owner, a 5'5 filipino woman with dark, exotic skin, a thick accent, and fake bosoms, asked to give me a hug.  I agreed.  It was a very matter of fact action.  She asked, I consented, we embraced, I left with curry in tow.  I have since asked around and have come to the realization that this behavior is commonplace.  She hugs her guests as they leave.  I immediately wondered if this behavior would translate in the world of pizza delivering.  I'm eager to try in out this evening.  "Here's your pie, your total is 14.43, owe a two dollar tip, thank you, may I have a hug?"  I'll have to include my fellow drivers on the matter, though their filthy minds will surely take it somewhere I intend it not to go (read Patrick Dempsey in "Loverboy" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097790/.  stay tuned...
