Slip of The Tongue vs. Snark Mouth.

Just a smidgen of every-day stoopid, here.

Standing in line to get a bagel, a woman five places ahead of him asks the baker, "What's in a bagel?" and before he knew it, his mouth opened and he heard his own voice say, "Are you kidding me?" There was dead silence for almost a minute (seemed like 10) before the whole place broke into hysterical laughter. Hope is that laughter was for the initial question, but all reports  point to the comment.

I swear it just slipped out.  No, honest, really and truly.

This one, not so much.

Having seated a party of 4, suddenly everyone asks (in Unison) "do you have a gluten-free menu?"  He answers, "all gluten-free options are now integrated into the main menu and noted with a "GF" next to the item description."  Ten minutes later, he is waved over to their table where a rather loud argument is going on.  One woman asks, "What is in a Corn Tortilla?"  This devilish man looks from face to enraptured face as they stare at him and says, "dried apple cores and freshly broken promises." and walks away. 

The stoopid was strong with this bunch and you know, they never called this man back for an explanation.  We wonder why...Maybe they fought it out among themselves, which would have probably ended the debate, as well as a few friendships, if you get my drift.

This gluten-free fraud is making super stars out of whiners seeking more attention than they deserve.  One out of every 25 or 30 people asked if they have celiac disease say no, but they want err on the safe side.  WTF?  Safe side of What?  There is never an answer to that question.

Thirty one days til Labor Day.

And so it goes.
