   Yes, I remember an "all-nighter" with a friend in the city.  We would up at   
   McDonalds in the morning, and we were sitting there eating our breakfast,   
   guessing whether the patron was "Saturday night" or "Sunday morning".  Those   
   that looked hung over, wasted, obviously remnents of Saturday night.  The older   
   lady with a McMuffin, probably Sunday morning.  Somehow breakfast had been   
   plastered all over the glass windows facing the city street.
