Stop swinging napkins around your head
Transcript
Stop swinging napkins around your head. A napkin should be elegantly folded on your lap and not swinging around your head during a meal. So instead of flinging your crumbs around the restaurant with your napkin, use the napkin for its intended purpose by folding it on your lap, using it to block your lip, and never to swing around your head. And that's why whenever I see a deusieme service, nightmare approaching with the champagne sparkling, the music blasting, and the napkins swinging, I remind all those around me.
