Lance *So* Needs To Stop Doing This


Lance picks funny things to be a stickler about. One of these funny things is his refusal to say stupid product names. For instance: "Lady Guinevere's Garden Pizza" or "King Arthur's Delight" at Round Table Pizza. He will just point at the item, and frustrate the hell out of the person behind the counter, who tries to interpret which piece he is pointing at.


Don't even get him started on Baskin Robbins. Here's how our last visit played out.


Lance: I'll have that one.


12 year old Manager/Scooper: Which one?


Lance: That one. (vague pointing accompanies statement)


12 year old Manager/Scooper: This one?


Lance: No, that one right there.


12 year old Manager/Scooper: The "Dreamin' of Summer" sorbet?


Lance: No, the other bright sorbet next to it.


12 year old Manager/Scooper: "Nuts for bananas" sorbet?


Lance: No, the other bright one, right next to the one you just said.


12 year old Manager/Scooper: "Wild 'n' Reckless??"


Lance: Bingo!


Seriously....this is the conversation every time we go there. Lancer--find something else to be annoyed by....such as babies in diaper commercials, like me.
