I've always ordered beverages one simple way, e.g. "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, 7-Up, Mr. Pibb, Fanta ,YooHoo and Red Bull."
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 lad at a
movie theatre for a "dark, cold, carbonated beverage."
The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Yes sir, and
would you like a long, thin, cylindrical plastic sucking device
with that?"
