Jay had always ordered a beverage by simply saying, “A Coke, please.”
However, recently waitresses had been responding, “I’m sorry, we don’t have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Thums Up, Dew, Sprite, Fanta… ”
Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, Jay decided to make life easier. So one day, he simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie theater for a “Dark, Carbonated beverage.”
The young man behind the counter looked up and said, “Sir, would you like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?”
