beverages

[ServiceGuy]

I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke, please."

Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often
respond,
"I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper,
Mr. Pibb and Yahoo."

Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make
life easier. So one day I simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie
theater for a "dark, carbonated beverage."

The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you
like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"

That sooooo sounds like something my 17 year old would say.
