USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@ChrisMack79 @DonnieDoesWorld @FreddyLA7 Soccer fields are bigger than football fields…so they are a little cramped in college football venues.

@UteFanIvan That’s what Pete Rose did. 🤷

@Robwonderswhy @BYUSportsNation Interesting…and how many of those were at ND vs at BYU? (Hint…it might be 7-2).

@CriddleBenjamin @royalarmybrand Dang it…I was helping my parents at their house today…just saw this as I’m going to bed. Completely missed it.

Hey guys.
Tyrell’s daughter is in the hospital. This extended stay there is gonna be expensive. Anything helps.
Even if it’s just a retweet.

@Truegreta So…you realize this is fake…and not the color right?

@Hoopss He was in the (L)east. It was so VERY weak most of those years.

@FiredUpCoug @Samsworth_TV And that’s why you have perfect color. Mayo is a cheat code. Perfect spread, perfect crisp.

@FiredUpCoug @ztrain21 I’ve visited 18 countries outside of the US (and its territories) and lived in or visited 43 states…🤷. Is it cheating that I’m counting Cuba when I never left GITMO? 🤣

[Jason Thomas @jthomasut]

@FiredUpCoug I appreciate the perfect color you achieved
