just remember: it is impossible to look cool, tough, edgy, or sexy while drinking out of a straw.
Beat me to it! Good one.
You must have really stubborn wait staff. I just tell them I’ll reuse my straw. Funny how they totally stop bringing me straws after that. Hell, I don’t even want a new glass. I finally got the ice melted JUST RIGHT and the lemon penetration JUST RIGHT in this one, I don’t want a brand-new glass of ice. I like it best when they just pour more drink on top.
Thanks, but no. Keep your straw.
I thought this thread was going to be about men of straw.
Bring your own eco-friendly reusable bamboo straw…
I hear bamboo can grow a foot a day…:dubious:
I only see them get taller…Haven’t seen any feet parts yet
Is this a regional thing? I live in the land of no water, so we don’t get glasses of water unless we ask. Maybe its just because I usually eat in diners and dives, but when my glass is empty, the same glass is refilled.
The times that I’ve gone to upperclass places, my glass of iced tea gets refilled. Maybe I should see what happens if I drink more than one mixed drink…but then I would get drunk and forget if I got new straws anyhow.
I do know that my small efforts won’t make much of a difference. Its just like doing cat rescue. I’ve devoted my life to fixing cats, but the kittens keep happening. I can’t save the world. I can’t even keep my little part of the world kitten free. All I can do is save one cat at a time.
Should I stop trying to stop the breeding?
Should I stop trying to recycle? Before I started my current job, the County sent tons of paper to the landfill every year. Now that paper goes to the Lion’s Club. They sell it to a pulp mill and buy glasses for children. It would be easier to just send the paper to the landfill.
I can’t have children, so I have no stake in the future. When I die, the world will end, as far as I’m concerned. Am I just wasting my time?
Leaffan, are you saying that I’m an idiot who should give up my efforts because they won’t help?
Where do you people live? Most drinks I get don’t have any straws. The water doesn’t come with a straw. Milk doesn’t come with a straw. Beer doesn’t come with a straw. Coffee or tea doesn’t come with a straw. Orange juice sometimes comes with a straw, sometimes not. Soda usually comes with a straw, and most mixed drinks come with those tiny things that kind of pass for straws.
That’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back! Then you have to call for a truck to take your camel to the animal hospital. A camel-tow!
The better jokes were already taken.
This is why I demand each table shares one straw.
Also, straw spelled backwards is warts. Just sayin’.
I’m expecting Starving Artist to drop by to tell us this is yet another result of rock n roll destroying America.
