What's the appropriate amount to tip on a $37 check?
HOW ABOUT ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS?!!!
That's the kind of math Chad Ochocinco is all about -- and he proved it Monday, by dropping a killer tip at one of his favorite restaurants.
The ex-NFL wideout popped by Havana's restaurant near Ft. Lauderdale -- which recently reopened amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not only did Chad order up some delicious grub, but man -- he blessed the good people with a some serious tippage!
"Congrats on reopening, sorry about the pandemic, hope this helps," Ochocinco wrote on the bill .
