Moments later a food server appeared at their table with their croque-monsieur and carved turkey sandwiches. Asks McInerney, a once-a-year visitor to Disney theme parks: "How did they know where we were sitting?"

    Good one. It rang a bell, and I thought at first that it was a Goldwynism [quotationspage.com] but it turned out actually to be a Berraism [wikiquote.org]
