Ok, I’m not the world’s skinniest person by any means… I’m about 6’0’’, and 245#. I walk into Subway and ask for a Veggie Delight salad. Sandwich Artist: :dubious: ::starts putting lettuce on::
Me: Can I get half lettuce and half spinach?
Artist: :dubious:
Me: And I’d like (list of vegetables.)
Artist: Dressing?
Me: Ranch
Artist: Tell me when there’s eno-
Me: Stop!
Artist: :dubious: …
I mean, I don’t necessarily eat salads because I think they’re amazing for me or anything. I eat them because I like them. Is it that incongruous to see fat people buying salads?
Well, maybe the Sandwich Artist wasn’t giving you funny looks because you were buying a salad. Maybe he (she? they?) just thought you were a famous person.
(doodly-doop doodly-doop doodly-doop doodly-doop)
you: I’d like a Veggie Delight please.
Inside SA’s head: Wow! Burl Ives!..in my store? :dubious:
you: Can I get half lettuce and half spinach?
Inside SA’s head: Waaaitaminit… Burl Ives is dead, I think. Isn’t he? :dubious:
you: And I’d like (list of vegetables.)
Sandwich Artist: Dressing?
Inside SA’s head: He did the planet voice in the Transformers movie…
you: Ranch.
Inside SA’s head:…and I think that was his last role before he died. So this guy can’t really be Burl Ives.
Sandwich Artist: Tell me when there’s eno-
you: Stop!
Inside SA’s head: Woops, got distracted…HEY, that was Orson Welles in the Transformers movie - so when did Burl Ives die? :dubious:
Note: the above post is entirely in jest. I doubt sincerely that chaoticdonkey actually looks like Burl Ives.
One time I was I went to a Burger King with a friend of mine.
My friend is 6’5" and weighs about 320 pounds. He orders a list of things and at the end he asks for a small coke. The person at the register goes, “Oh, a small coke.” My friend didn’t do it because of any desire to “cut back” he just did it because he knew exactly what he wanted and had only a few cents more in cash than what he wanted cost, so he got the small so it’d fit in perfectly with the cash in his wallet.
He was less than pleased with that comment and made it known to the cashier immediately.
Hey, stop trying to hijack the thread away from what’s really important: that chaoticdonkey really looks like Burl Ives.
He was probably surprised that anyone went for the healthy option. A rail-thin string-bean of a man would probably get the same reaction there.
I don’t know. I’m still imagining Orson Welles doing a Subway commerical. That’s pretty funny, in the sad kind of way that accompanied Mr. Welles’ final years.
“At Subway, we will make no sandwich…before its time.”
Here I was all ready to get mad and say, “They can’t order salads 'cuz they’re fooling themselves! They can’t order a donut 'cuz they’re fooling themselves! What can they eat?”
grumbles
Nothing to get mad about. Nobody’s pitting fat people here…
I don’t usually eat at Subway, and wasn’t really familiar with the term before, but do you think it’s possible I could go to a Subway and have a sandwich made by the Sandwich Artist Formerly Known as Prince?
While we’re on the subject, I just love those folks who smirk when you order a Diet Coke with your cheeseburger. Hey, asshole, ever hear of diabetes? Pray that you never have firsthand experience with it.
Now I gotta go back to that picture thread and decide whether or not chaoticdonkey looks like Burl Ives. And to think, I was gonna do some actual work. If it weren’t for this place I could be productive.
Or do what I do. I don’t get the combo, and I ask for a glass of ice water. I always get the silence. I *like * ice water. What I don’t like (most of the time) is watered-down soda.
