For the uninitiated, here's the deal:  Residence Inns are supposed the be the "home-style" Marriott chain.  All the rooms have a kitchen so you can cook for yourself so you can delude yourself into thinking that you're not at a hotel.  If you're not the cooking type, they host a "evening social" where they have appetizer-type foods to nosh on.  They post the schedule of the finger foods on the fridge in your room so you can plan accordingly.

I've been to good Residence Inns - this one is just nuts.  I checked the schedule and saw that they were serving chicken wings - one of my weaknesses!  I wandered over to the lobby where they serve the appetizers and look for the wings.  

The warming trays - empty?  That's odd.  Oh look - there's bread and a bowl of potato salad?  I suppose those could go with the wings.  I'll just get some and wait for the wings to show up.  No, wait - that's not potato salad!  It's tuna spread ... and the bread must be to make sandwiches.

What kind of sick FREAK thinks that tuna sandwiches are a suitable substitute for wings?  You can't be serious!  Mixing up a batch of tuna spread and slicing bread and veggies for sandwiches - even college students can "cook" better than that!

If you're thinking of telling me that tuna is "chicken of the sea" ... forget it!
