Have a Poopy Lunch

Lunch today was unusual for me - I went out and ate with a co-worker.  I was so unused to foraging for myself in this isolated resource-poor neighborhood two blocks from the ferry building in san francisco (south-west, for those of you tracking my movements, the places east of the ferry building are very damp), that I asked another colleague for a restaurant suggestion.  She told us about a spot on 2nd between Market and Mission with cheap chinese steamtable food, and gave us a good idea of the name but wasn’t sure of it. 

We found the restaurant easily and ate a lot of food for not much money.  But the name of the place gave me cause for pause.  It’s “B&M Mei Sing Restaurant.” Okay, I respect cross-cultural differences - but this name just made me think of Mr. Hanky all through lunch.  Yummy.  Wipe your mouth.
