The guy who invented "the pill"

So today I had the strange experience of meeting the guy who invented the birth control pill. In addition to running Chef's Lover Catering I am also a Maitre'd at the Hayes Street Grill, and today for lunch a super old guy came in. After I seated him the owner came up and informed me that that was the man who invented "the pill." On his way out of the restaurant I said "on behalf of women, I thank you for your invention." He smiled and winked and was out the door. Honestly, the pill has been around for a while and I had no clue that the guy who invented it was still breathing- but it goes to show you that you never know who's going to walk through the door of your restaurant!
