Eavesdropping

Sitting in the SUB one afternoon while it was fairly empty a group of approximately 5-6 people came and took over a table near my own. I had remembered Sexson's saying to listen in on a random conversation, so I began listening. The table was about 50/50 men/women and they were discussing the catering portion of a wedding. The decision was made by the party to have a whole pig served, from there the conversation moved to what sort of pig, deboned or bone-in? from there it moved to cost; deboned was apparently significantly more expensive than bone-in and so the idea of a deboned pig was quickly dismissed. Then the conversation went to whether or not there was the option of an organically raised pig, this option was discussed for some time until it was decided that that too was a bit pricey for the couple. From there drink options were spoken of and an open bar was decided upon (a good choice in this eavesdroppers opinion). After that they started discussing how to fit everything in the apparently very small kitchen area of the venue they were renting and something about a truck and a smoker was mentioned and I lost interest.
