Since I'd never heard of the place before, it's not like I had
expectations of it or its owners' tastes.  If I'd had expectations,
they probably would have been along the lines of, "Nobody
has worse taste than the nouveau riche," and those expect-
ations, while locking me into a karmic cycle of judgement
and non-acceptance, would probably have been correct.
But since I was making a joke, it's not as if I was actually 
complaining too severely about the tacky decor, and it's 
not as if I fear my soul is in mortal peril for not making the
joke.

Besides, the lack-of-expectations thang requires constant
attention, and Thursday was my day off.  :-)
