A conversation today between me and a disembodied voice from a drive-through squawk box. Just imagine the pimply faced fast food jockey from the Simpson’s:
Voice: Welcome to Wendy’s, can I interest you in a combo meal today?
Me: Yeah. I’d like a Number 4 combo meal, large size, with a Coke. And also a 4-piece chicken nugget.
Voice: Um… Number… 4… meal… [ pause ]… What size?
Me: Large size. With a Coke. And a 4-piece chicken nugget.
Voice: Um… large… size… [ pause ]… What to drink?
Me: A Coke. And a 4-piece chicken nugget.
Voice: Um… Coke… [ pause ]… Anything else today?
Me: A 4-piece chicken nugget.
Voice: Um… 4… piece… chicken… [ pause ]… Anything else today?
Me: Nope. [ pause ] First day on the job?
Voice: Um… How’d you know?
Me: Lucky guess.
