The Shop's Latest
so what's new? nothing, i'm still working (just got home at 11:00). therefore, i will have to just tell about that. and about lunch, since that was almost funny. okay, never mind about work, i'm just going to tell about lunch, cuz i want to go to bed. plenty more about work later.
of course you know about burger king's little "have it your way" slogan. on the side of the cup it's all like, "you can have your drink with ice, without ice, with the cap securely fastened, or you can go topless. hmmm? or you can let your cup runneth over (we wish you wouldn't). but whatever you do, be sure to have it your way." so what particular point do you suspect caught my attention? me - "i'll take a double cheese burger meal with onion rings instead of french fries and a dr pepper without ice, and if you would, please let my cup runneth over." BK girl - "ok, your total will be $4.21, please pull forward." me thinks to myself - "wow, that was a really lame joke, and there wasn't even anyone in the car with me to laugh about it." but then when i got around to the window, there was my cup of dr pepper, with liquid coming out of every seam, bubbling out of the straw hole, and definitely squirting dangerously when squeezed. me - "uh... goodness... i didn't think you'd really do it." BK girl - "well, it's 'have it your way,' isn't it?" me - "um... heh... heh... thanks." i wonder if she was ticked off.
