I pay at the counrter even when ordering at the kiosk, as I want the option of changing my mind on my way, & I often pay in cash. Except7 when this one she-dog is on, then I'll pay with my debit & go pick up at the counter, & ask there for delivery to a table, if I'm not taking right off to go. . . The mobile ordeering was handy when it got too busy inside to get my wheelchair in, then I'd park in a car spot & order via mobile (get the points from buying co0ffee & fries, plus can m,ore easily cash them in for free coffeees or fries (my wife loves their coffees -- I'll buy here 7 $1.80 medium coffees, then trade in points for a $4 medium mocha! (I love a deal!) > I love the dill pickles, but I don't go overboard on them. One time, I > was snacking on Lay's Dill Pickle potato chips, and eating ice cream > sandwiches. So, I raised a few eyebrows when I told folks "I'm eating > pickles and ice cream". That'll do it. Or "I'm pregnant with an elephant...want to > see its trunk". I do that when they point out my belly & ask if I'm pregnant. I say, "Sure am; with a baby elephant; want to see his trunk?" > Sometimes, it's like "here's your sign". One smart aleck came > through the drive thru, wanting "a fur burger and a side order of > thighs". I told him "you'll find that in the red light district > downtown". I've done that, but at the A&W I worked for, when a mate took me out of the hospital for a day, including lunch at the A&W drive-in; I took the order pad & wrote my own order. I sw thw jkitchen crew trying to read my handrwriting & giggling, then I got a fish burger & fries (close enough) Another time, whentrasveling & aty a McD's I'd never go in evert again anywya I ordfered it from the pretty young thing at the counter & she ran away & gpt a manager. I just calmly said I wanted a fish burger & a side of fries. I don't know why she got him involved. I guess I looked mischievous or he really trusted her not to come to him for frivolity, cuz he replied, "Just take your food and go." in a drop dead tone. Another smart aleck tried to order something from > McDonald's, and I said "Sir, this is Burger King. McDonald's is down > the street". I'd always try to match them up with an A&W mnenu item close as possible to their order, like iof they wanted a Big Mac, I'd give them a double cheeseburger with bacon (McD's wasn't putting bacon on burgers yet) then point out that this is beter as it had bacon,. & no extra bun in the middle for wasted carbs -- just meat & enough bun to hold onto it neatly while eating. He paid triple the burger's value to me, including tip! And, there was a black guy who had "the dialect", and > he wanted "a waffer...a double waffer...a double waffer with cheese". > He couldn't make up his mind, and he obviously wasn't educated. I > guess a waffer is a rather large wafer. :P I'd guess whopper. . . & I'd have asked, "dbl Whopper with cheese? Extra cheese on that,. sir?" (for the upsell) >> Soda pop is bad in so many ways.

My wife drinks a half can of whichever we have handy, to help with heartburn -- chug half a can, burp hard, & passthe other half can to her daughter to finish, or put it in the fridge for another day. >> Per the mothers I've talked to, stones are worse, by far. > Two women's takes on kidney stones: > 1) I'd rather have quintuplets (5 at once) with no epidural or > anesthetic, in hard labor, than one kidney stone.

I say the same; pointing out that their equpment is especually designed to handle a baby going through; mine is not designed to stretch. Plus the G-spot is conveniently located to offset some of the pain. The fact it gives so much pleasure when not being used to help a birth, shows how powerful her pain would be without it (more like our kidney stones, maybe) >> Both involve some thing big goigb through a smnaller passage; buy with >> a baby, you got a nice(give or take) baby at the end. > One asked me if I had several at once if I'd name them, and I replied > "Of course.

I think even masochists prefer their pain in certain contexts. Liuke if his partner was feeding him chocolate covered espresso beans, promisding the stones would hurt worse than anything she could do & he's to think of her every time a stone goes through. > They have more money than they know what to do with.

Reminds me of Porky Pig saying, "Son of a b-b-b-b-b-b--b-GUN!" then he looks cheekily at the camera & says, clear as a newscaster, "Ha! I bet you thought I was going to say son of a bitch, didn't you?" > Are you sure you lost an electron?? I'm positive. Hmm, need to make some wooden disks, with "Tuit" on one side & "Ion" on the other!

No idea -- it was a character on the Muppets, the Swedish Chef, who only ever saisd "bork! bork!" & that was the Muppet version of Swedish. I always greet the staff at IKEA with a hearty "Bork! Bork!" as a quick age check. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) .
