I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but I
think the Dairy Queen employee mentioned in
"Things People Said" might be me. When I
was in high school I worked for the Dairy
Queen in our small town. On a particularly
busy day I had been switching from working
the counter to working the drive-thru. Well, in a
very busy moment I answered the drive-thru
with "Welcome to Dairy Queen, is this for here
or to go?" I then spent the next 5 minutes
laughing at myself. I'm sure that there are
other people who have made this mistake, but
I figured I'd own up to it. Anyway, here's a good
one:

In my town we have a Food Court with 4
different restaurants in it. It usuallys stays
pretty busy. One day while I was waiting for my
food I was looking around and reading
different signs. One sign that was by the cash
register read: "Picture Menus Available by
Request" When the girl working came to the
counter I asked her what that was about. I
know myself that I get a better idea of what a
meal consists of at a more high-class
restaurant if there is a picture of it in the menu;
but, I couldn't figure out what one couldn't
decipher about a Whopper or a chicken
sandwhich. Well, the girl looked at me and
said: "Those are for people who can't read." I
just looked at her. I don't know who the genius
was the made the sign, but they clearly didn't
put much thought into it.
