They went to lunch, oggled the boobies, and left a $.35 tip. They didn't become billionaires because they're stupid.

But what guy doesn't love Hooters? I mean, come on! Beer, ta-ta's and roadhouse food? Utopia.

That reminds me of some dumb kid room mate I had once who got his pay cheque one weekend, went out and spend $300 at the bar, and $180 of it was tips one night. Sure enough he comes to me on Monday asking to borrow $50 because he's got no food. I suggested he go find out if those waitresses remembered who he is and see if they'd lend him the money.

I'm not advocating being a cheap tipper....but I've seen guys waste so much money tipping waitresses thinking that was going to impress them and get them a date or more right after their shift. I doubt guys like Gates and Buffet ever did that no matter how nerdy they are.

I'd dare say it's easier to make $50+ billion than impress a waitress enough for them to hook up with you over a tip. If anything it'd make them feel like a cheap whore.

I haven't had the pleasure of eating at Hooters yet, stupid small East Coast market!

I don't know if you'd call EATING at Hooters a pleasure. I'm not even sure if salt is on the menu...everything is just deep fried.
