I am compelled to add a Denny's story that my family witnessed while living in La Grande, OR in the mid nineties during the bad forest fire months. Three firefighters show up at the hostess station at Denny's. Getting quite a few looks from other patrons they obviously came into town for a hot meal after being out in the woods for many hours fighting fires. They were ash covered, dirty, and had small smudges of soot on their face and arms. The bubbly waitress asks. Smoking or Not Smoking. The entire restaurant broke into laughter.
