Quiz! What do these two nimrods ...
... have in common with these two nimrods?
Give up?? They all eat off the same plates!
Ya see, the cats' diets have changed over time and they now eat canned food. Only thing, their cat dishes were deep for a pile of dry food, not flat for a glob of wet. So my little wife went over to the second-hand shop (quote: "I don't want those fuckers eating off the plates WE eat off") and scored a foursome of small plates. Here are two:
The do the job very well. We got four so we could have two in action and have a pair clean at the same time. I was washing the cat spit off one when I turned it over and saw the stamp:
Braniff Airlines? I've flown Braniff! I don't remember such in-flight service, er ... service. Further inspection shows they were dishes for 747s ... likely First Class service, for folks like the nimrods pictured above.
I showed this to my wife and she didn't care. But I couldn't help but think of the exotic ports-of-call these simple dishes have visited in their time in service. The adventure! The wonder! Then I thought of their sad fates ... a dish for sliced chicken hearts and livers in thick gravy. ick.
But oh! the glory days!
