We, often times, use maritime signal flags. It becomes a little confusing when asking what the daily catch or special is. Sometimes, other boats signal us with similar questions about the restaurant. We have to, politely, signal them back to wait their turn. Every once and awhile, we arrive that evening at the restaurant to find, we don't actually have a reservation. But, everything works out fine, once we pretend to be the proprietors of the one of boats that did succeed in scheduling.
