Step 35: Order the Kennedy Package

Oh the look on your waiter's face when he asks for your drink order and you ask if he watches How I Met Your Mother. He knows some weird request is coming up, but since he doesn't watch the show, he doesn't quite know what to expect. You go on to explain that you want what the show has coined as "The Kennedy Package."

Lily explains it best at 2:18 (warning, there is a slight spoiler if you haven't been watching this season, but if you don't watch the show at all you're fine to watch it)

And that's what I asked for when I went out to dinner with my friends. And our waiter did a pretty dang good job with it, too. Was it a little bit embarrassing? Of course! (And no, not because I got completely drunk--I only had Applebee's margaritas and they put NO alcohol in those things... they just taste so fruitylicious!) But it made my night, made my friends laugh, and gave our waiter a great story to tell his co-workers. And that's what's important - making sure that everyone has a fun night. :)

So my question to you: What's the weirdest thing you've ever done in a restaurant?
And my challenge to you: Strike up a conversation with your waiter the next time you go out. It doesn't have to be something weird like explaining what a Kennedy Package is, but if you treat them as part of your gang they tend to take good care of you.
