Question of the day, and everyday

What's for dinner?

It has come to my attention that this question is more difficult to answer than most of the business issues I encounter on a daily basis.

A typical exchange with jason at the end of the day.

Pc: are u off work?
J: yes. On way home
Pc: are we going to have dinner together?
J: yes we can
Depending on who responds faster and hits the ball across the court: What do u feel like? / what shall we have for dinner?
......

I do have an answer to that on days when I have a severe craving.

So on those days I say:
How about Indian/ Korean/ Japanese/ Chinese/ Western?

And j says: hmm... my stomach doesn't feel quite right today / I had that yesterday / recently / Any polite form of rejection
What other would u like?

Pc: ......

Or at times when I don't have a particular craving... I say : hmm... anything will do.

J goes: what's anything?

Pc and j both: .....

Or when we both have zilch idea and one decides to bravely suggest something despite fear of rejection.

I go: how about that Japanese place round the corner which is always crowded and with long queue?

J says: ok. Let's do that!

Finally an agreement! And then that restaurant is closed. And we end up walking around the neighborhood aimlessly.

Bugger.

Why do we need to have dinner.
