1) Reserve almonds from warm nuts and crush; eat remaining nuts
2) Order ice water with lemon and wine during dinner service; enjoy the water and the wine (and if you are the son of God, turn the water into more wine and amaze your fellow pax!). Reserve the lemon wedge for juicing later
3) Take butter pat that comes with roll at dinner and melt over your warm laptop battery or using the aforementioned contraband lighter
4) Toss the asparagus that is likely to accompany your dinner with lemon juice, drizzle with butter, and garnish with crushed almonds

bon appetit!
