All the best ...

"You want to grab something to eat before the match? It's still about 7 hours away", the turtle asks, turning and picking up a huge wallet which he shoves into his pocket.

You manage to nod your head through the haze of awe you've been in since seeing the size of your opponent. Almost dazedly, you follow him out the door and to the nearest restaurant. The waiter, with that special smile reserved for the sumo, instinctively gives you the biggest table ... which "just happens" to be the one closest to the kitchen. As the waiter arrives with the menus, Simeon shoos them away with a smile.

"We'll have two of everything", he says casually. The waiter looks surprised, but writes down the order and scurries off to the kitchen.

"It's a good thing they're having a slow day", Simeon comments. "Means less of a wait for us."

"Why'd you order so much?", you ask with a gulp.

"What? Something wrong with that?", he respondss with a grin.

"No, but-"

"There's your answer. Besides, how else do you think I've gotten so big?" He smirks at you, leaning back to show off his huge belly as he pats it gently.

You look down at yours, small compared to him...you could swear you feel puny next to this reptilian mountain. You sigh.

"Oh come on, don't be down. You'll get to my size ... eventually." He chuckles. "And if you eat everything, you might put on a hundred pounds or so. This place has the most fattening food in all of Japan!"

At that second, two waiters arrive with about 30 drinks, each one doubled and split between the two of you. As you both start drinking, another set of waiters arrives, this time carrying appetizers. Mushroom caps, chicken strips, onion rings ... Suddenly, it hits you. The sign outside read "American Dining"! No wonder he's gotten so big ... while you've been eating almost nothing but the traditional fish stew, he's been packing away gravy you can cut with a knife!
