Just checking.” She blushed and gave a very insincere sorry.
Reminds me of a niece story. She’s in a summer job before OU med school, gets a job up there at some Italian rest., requires all servers to wear long sleeve white shirts & a tie, girls too. She asks what to do so I buy her 3 Walmart ties & mail’m. 2 of the 3 ties have OU symbols on them for extra Uncle points. She says thanks, flash forward a month. She passes on to me this typical bubba story, 5 or 6 bubbas walk & seated in various combos of UT gear (most all wearing gimme caps that none of them remove inside—what’s up with that?) she walks up “hi, I’m Jen, I’ll be your server, specials today are....” bubba 1 interrupts her with “Hey is that an OU tie? We kicked your ass last 2 years! Ha ha ha ha”
She takes a breath & quietly continues “yes, I’m an OU student. May I point out you haven’t even received your water yet, much less drinks or food and I’ll be the one bringing it out so.....”
Oh
Uhhhh
Yeah
Huh huh
Well, ok
She marveled that she had to explain the logistics of all this to 5 UT bubbas. I told her I wasn’t surprised. At all.
