I Wonder If I Can Double My Birth Control Dosage…
While I’m checking out at the bakery, a tired-looking man comes in.
Customer: “Can I get one of your vegetarian cakes with the cheese, and can you write on it?”
Employee #1: “Um, we can definitely do a custom message, yeah, but what was that cake?”
Customer: “Vegetarian?”
Employee #1: “All our cakes are vegetarian. Do you mean vegan? And what’s this cheese?”
Customer: “Oh, d***, I don’t know what it’s called… It’s a vegetarian cake and it has cheese frosting. My sister-in-law loves ’em.”
Employee #2: “Sir… do you mean carrot cake? With cream cheese frosting?”
Customer: “Yes! That. Thank you!”
Employee #1: “Okay, and what’s the message?”
Customer: “Can it say… ‘Thank you for looking after our dumb a**es while we work out how to be parents,’ but make it sound better?”
Employee #2: “Just a guess… How recently was your child born?”
Customer: “Is it still Wednesday?”
[Employee #2] hands the customer a muffin.
Employee #2: “Congratulations! It’s Friday. Why don’t you sit down and have a snack, and we’ll workshop that message?”
About ten seconds later, as I’m walking out…
Employee #1: “Do you think we should wake him up?”
