Re: Best Line Today
In a McDonald's buying an sweet tea, the restaurant ran out of pennies and the manager had to intervene today. I was shorted a penny in my change and the manager told the register clerk that "unless people have the exact change, we can't serve them". Talk about stupid fucking people not being able to think of an easy solution to that problem.

That's because he has what is called McButthead Syndrome. It affects the frontal lobe of the brain.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
Re: Best Line Today
This wasn't today, but a few years ago...
it deserves mention in this most appropriate thread:
I'm on the phone to book a plane ticket from Phoenix to Montreal and back.
I tell her that.
"Fine... can you tell me where Montreal is?"
"Yes, it's in Quebec, Canada."
"What state is that in?"
"Um... it's not in the States, it's in Canada."
"Yes, well, I need you to tell me the state it's in!"
"Canada is the big country north of the United States, and Montreal is in the east of that country."
"Well, I still need to know what state.... oh, nevermind, I found it!"
And this person has a real job, selling plane tickets to real people!

I don't know how well people from Kolkata know prison inmates, but I bet that not only do many of them know the States better than we know the subcontinent, a not negligible number know the North American geography better than we do.Elliot wrote:Or a prison inmate.Dr. Pyro wrote:You can't realistically expect someone from Calcutta to know North American geography all that well.

I read on a European web site that the Italian Coast Guard officer who said this over an open radio channel is now a national hero there. Italians are wearing T-shirts with that line printed on.

Reminds me of the time I passed a woman panhandling with her baby. When she asked for "spare change" I handed over a couple of diapers from my daughter's stroller.
