Bring Your Own Meal Dining

Marcus:  Look at this.  Merci is eating in my Private Dining Car. 

Merci:  Hey, I kind of like eating in here.   It's roomy and private.

Marcus:  You're supposed to be eating in the kitchen with Buddy.  I'm the only one allowed to come eat in my PDC.

Merci: Jan put my food bowl in here because I wasn't eating.  She got upset with me and I can't eat when I'm upset.

Marcus:   You're too sensitive.  Jan told you to sit and wait and instead you stood and started eating.

Merci:  You do that all the time.

Marcus:  Yes, but Jan expects that of me.  You're supposed to be the well-behaved dog.

Merci:  I am.  Usually. But sometimes I get a little confused and when Jan says "no" I can't eat, so now when that happens, she puts my bowl in your PDC so I can eat without you guys stealing my food.  If you notice, after the first dining-in experience, I prefer to dine out with my head in.

Marcus:  So it's okay to steal my Private Dining Car but not okay for me to steal your food?

Merci:  Exactly!  I mean, no.  I'm only borrowing it.  I borrow your bed all the time.

Marcus:  Yes, and I've been meaning to speak to you about that.  I don't mind you borrowing my bed, but you've been leaving floofy fur behind.  You have such a thick winter coat, you need a good brushing.

Merci:  Okay, I'll have Jan get right on it, just as soon as I finish breakfast.

Marcus:   I'm really thankful for my Private Dining Car, but I only eat in there on special occasions.  Merci has discovered the joy of savoring a meal in a fine dining room.  I'll have to see if there is any interest in others renting it for the occasional bring-your-own meal dining.

Merci:  I've never heard of a bring-your-own-meal dining concept.

Marcus:  That's because I've just invented it.  I could make millions!

Merci:  Or you could be hauled off in a straight jacket.
