My office would go to lunch at a really nice local Chinese restaurant at Christmas time (they voted it in several years in a row). The folks at the restaurant would serve us at our tables using very large plates, full of delicious dishes. They had to stand there and make sure that everyone got only 6 sweet and sour jumbo shrimp, because one of the idiots in my office would push the entire platter of shrimp on his plate, and the Restaurant would run out before everyone was served.
