Burger King

My Aunt Jo and Uncle Era told me this story—an interchange, which a friend of a friend claimed to over hear.  I can’t verify that it’s true, but I sure hope so, because it cracks me up every time I tell it:
 
A traveling couple stopped at Burger King to stretch their legs and grab a bite to eat.  When they finished eating, they decided to consult their map before going back out to their car.  The town which they had stopped in had a very long, hard-to-pronounce name.
 
Curious, they brought the map up to the counter, pointed to their location, and said to the young man behind the cash register, "Can you, very slowly, tell us where we are right now?" 
 
The boy replied, "Burrr-gerrr Kiiiing."

Can't you just imagine what that poor kid behind the register was thinking? Gotta love adolescents.

That cracks me up, too!

Sadly, I'm reaching the point where I'm starting to look age-ed and senile to teenagers; he'd probably say it loudly, so I could hear without my hearing aids...(anyone over 35 pretty much needs that)

Aunt Jo, nice to hear from you.  Bet you can't wait to hold your first great-grandbaby!  (Are you old enough to have one of those?  I think you might get carded!)

Traci & Farmer's Wife, he must've thought he was being considerate and sweet--trying to not make them look dumb for asking such a ridiculous question!  :)  It reminds me of a time when Ken was praying with some four year olds... watch for a blog post about this!  :)
