Have you ever found yourself sitting at a four-legged table in a fancy restaurant and noticed that the table seems to be tipped towards you? When your dinner companion touches the opposite end of the table, the table tips away from you. Then the waiter arrives with long, thin-stemmed water goblets and fills them nearly to the top. You try to forget about the tipping table, but the angle between the water level and the rim of the goblet acts as a constant reminder. Both of you try very hard not to touch the table but that becomes difficult and the table moves again and again.
You begin to think of the worst that could happen to you, the worst the wobble effect could produce. You imagine various liquids winding up in your lap. If you have the misfortune to be sitting in a chair with a similar problem, the degree to which you will enjoy your meal will be further reduced. What to do? You could switch tables. No. The popularity of the restaurant prevents this maneuver. There are no free tables. You try logic and start to analyze the situation. A variety of causes and solutions come to you.
The problem could be just a slightly uneven floor, but the probabilities favor uneven table or chair-legs. So you begin your search while trying to appear sophisticated. After all, there are four legs. Finally, you find the short leg. Folding a napkin to just the right thickness, you slip it underneath. Now you and your companion can eat in peace.
Restaurant owners take heed. You can easily resolve this potential hazard prior to customers stepping foot in your restaurant. All you need to do is adopt the three-legged rule, as illustrated above. LINK. Go to Lot#118 for details.

Hmm
This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don’t think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.
