Chong’s Sandbox

Have you had a day that your brain is half way asleep? I certainly had one. Actually I had 2 in a row. Monday is typically a slow day. It is as if I just walked out of a refrigerator and went to work. You get the idea. Although my brain was in the hibernation mode, my tummy was not. On the way home, I pulled up at Schloztky’s drive-thru. My wife was telling me what she wanted while I was looking at the menu. I was placing my order with my tongue that is controlled by, so called, the Monday brain.

Chong: Hi, I’d like to have the classic combo with a large Coke or Pepsi.

Schloztky guy: What kind of chips you want?

Wife: Oh, get the jalapeno one.

Chong: Huh? Ok. Let me have the JALAPENO COOKIE.

Schloztky guy: Jalapeno cookie?

Chong: (I still didn’t realize what just came out of my mouth.) Yes, please.

Wife: LOL

Dang it. It was yesterday which was apparently Monday. I thought my body and soul got back to the normal working mode today. I wanted to add some sizzle to my boring Tuesday morning, so my wife and I pulled up at the Starbucks drive-thru. Our regular is the white chocolate mocha with non-fat milk and no whip cream. Here is how you usually order that (Starbucks guy told me):

Let me have 2 Grande, non-fat, no-whip white mochas.

So, here goes the story.

Chong: Do you want the Tall or Grande?

Wife: Tall is fine.

Chong: Let me have 2 Tall, Grande non-fat, no-whip white chocolate mocha, please.

Starbuck girl: I’m sorry. What size you want?

Wife: LOL

It was kinda tricky order, wasn’t it?
