redneck you may be slightly familiar with this. Once a year the owner of the Shipshewana Flea Market throws a evening picnic party for the dealers only. He asks that everyone brings a desert dish or side dish. Last one I attended my wife brought a dish of 36 deviled eggs on a nice glass serving dish. We were nowhere the end on the line approx in the first half, when we got to the tables the eggs and serving dish were all gone. I watched others walking off with full pies and trays of side dishes, we never attended another of the picnics, I do not like to associate myself with such folks.
Being prepared is one thing, being selfish and only concerned with oneself is entirely another. Boy I sure could have but it differently!
