In the days before Wikipedia, a group of pseudo-intellectuals sat around discussing science fiction movies. An ashtray filled with four forgotten lit cigarettes sat on a table that sat in a back room of a diner that was located in an old city in a part of the country you probably have never been to. The conversation was strained because there was no quick way to tell the other that their f-in a$$ had fallen off due to uncontrollable laughter at a joke, most likely their own. In fact in these days there wasn't much laughing because everything didn't need to be funny. The ashtray confirms this as it began to wish that the owners of the cigarette would remember their habit. A song came on the radio. It was one of those songs that doesn't distract the players in this story from interupting their conversation. So it is safe to say this song was not performed by Smashmouth or Chumbawumba. A waitress came for their order.
What can I getcha?
-I'll have a glass of water and 3 pieces of toast, please. And one cup of coffee.
-Make that two coffees. And two waters. No toast for me.
-Coffee and uh, what kind of soup do you have?
Chicken noodle and italian wedding.
-Oh, forget the soup. I'll just have some coffee and a brownie. (This guy decides to wink at the waitress and the waitress ignores it completely).
-Can I order a Spanish omelete? And an orange juice and some Root Beer please?
Any side?
-Oh, maybe just some toast. Lightly toasted. If its burned I'll flip out.
Ok. Anything else? Oh I forgot you, honey.
-I'LL HAVE A BURGER, MEDIUM, AND A SIDE OF COLE SLAW PLEASE.
Everyone stopped what they were doing. All of a sudden everyone noticed that song that had been playing so quietly before.
