TMI
Well, you can take it from us: while having dinner in a sushi restaurant, the last thing you want to hear is the health inspector giving her report to the owner's daughter.
Even if it's a good report, you just don't want to hear phrases like, "parts per million" and "your comprehensive pest-control plan" while eating anything -- let alone sushi.
We imagine the only thing the daughter will enjoy hearing less is her mother, when the elder woman finds out her daughter let the inspector -- whose voice would give Ethel Merman's a run for its money -- give her report in the middle of the restaurant at 5pm on a Friday night. To say it gave a roomful of diners pause is an understatement along the lines of "the War in Iraq may not be going as well as Dick Cheney predicted."
The saki helped us through the ordeal.
