When you get old you can sometimes act senile even when you aren’t.
I went to a fast food joint and ordered a burger. The girl behind the speaker asked me if I wanted to supersize it.
“Circumcise it? No, I had that done years ago.”
“No, not that, do you want to supersize it?”
“What does that mean?”
“That means do you want to make it bigger.”
“No, dear. It’s big enough and it’s circumcised. What does this have to do with my burger?”
“It will be right out, sir.”
And I did all of it with a straight face.
Loved that last line! This one is a Winner!
I like them well-done–stories, not burgers–and this was just to my taste.
Ha, very funny. Gives a whole new meaning to “Home of The Whopper.”
Funny story but maybe a little creepy having an old man make such comments to what may be a teenaged fast food worker. Probably best not to overthink it.
Great story–I had a situation at a fast food place years ago–your story brought back memories–thanks
Faking moderate dementia is often called for as I age. This is beautiful! Makes me think of what’s his name—ahhh Mel Brooks.
Awesome, thank you for writing!
Extremely funny, insightful and well written. I love it.
