"Dude can you like, hook us up with some extra sauce? We're a couple of reallllly saucy stoners."

You didn't have to tell me, I could tell by the fact that you ordered four large french fries, two triple patty bacon cheeseburgers, and three milkshakes. For two people.

"Look honey, you can have a salmon burger or you can have a salmonella burger! "

Their choices were between salmon and chicken. This one popped out of one of my elderly customers right after the salmonella scare.

"What's the difference between a four ounce and a six ounce cheeseburger?"

"Your veggie burger has cheese on it? Cheese is NOT vegetarian, I can't eat that. I'll take a grilled chicken wrap instead."

Time to rethink "The Plan," Scout.

"You'll grow up waiting tables if somebody doesn't change your ways"

     I can certainly empathize with Scout's terror when Mrs. Dubose delivers this gem (hehe... Jem pun) in To Kill A Mockingbird, as I find myself a recent graduate with no set plans aside from, gulp, waiting tables. It's my first time reading the novel, which most people (myself included) find surprising, especially after taking into account that I was an English major in college. And if I ever needed incentive to make better use of that degree (as creative as I might have to be to do it...), this quote and Scout's reaction have shamed me into looking for jobs that call on more than my waitressing capabilities. Ah, the instructive power of literature!
