Critical Thinking Fail - Page 4

That made me think of the owning I dished out at the airport a while back. I think it was in Denver....

We're in the HUGE line at the airport McDonald's, about 6-7 people back from the counter.

The lady at the counter starts placing this giant order, 50 cheeseburgers, etc etc. It is very clear that she's ordering up for some large group of traveling kids she's escorting.

Of course, it's an airport, so most people are in a hurry. I figure, it's McDonald's, it isn't going to take that long to dish out 50 pre-made cheeseburgers. It'll slow us up a minute or two, no big deal.

Then, this busybody lady 3-4 people behind me, leans over the zig-zagging amusement park-style barrier and right in my ear, shouts, "EXCUSE ME! ALL I WANT IS A SALAD AND SOME WATER.", as if her feeble attempt to eat healthy at a McDonald's made her special, somehow. As if she's in a bigger hurry than the other 20 people in line.

I look her right in the eye and say, "...and you can wait your turn for it, just like everyone else."

She didn't say a word, and waited her turn, just like everyone else.

AMJ, you've got my vote. Now throw your damn name in the ring.

And the next Kit Kat's on me (sorry you were having a bad day!)

On Sunday afternoons, you pin dead insects onto a blue velvet matador painting from Jarez.

You've arranged them into the shape of a 1959 Edsel, because it reminds you of your mothers face.

Quiet time.

Dim lights...

If only I could do what iD did. Closest I ever came, to that kind of effect on women, was when I had my hair covering my face and acted like a complete Jim Morrison asshole to them
