Peanuts Are High In Irony
(A man comes in with his son, who looks to be about nine years old.)
Customer: “Hi, do you guys cook anything in peanut oil? My son has a peanut allergy, and he can’t eat anything with peanuts.”
Manager: “No, we don’t. He can have everything here except the salad, which has almond in it.”
Customer’s Son: “Ooh dad, chocolate soda!”
Customer: “What about the chocolate soda?”
Manager: “Oh no, he can’t have that.”
Customer: “Sorry, bud, how about the root beer instead?”
(He orders their food and while they wait, his phone goes off.)
Customer’s Phone: “IT’S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME. PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!”
(He quickly answers it while my coworkers and I are trying not to laugh. He looks a little embarrassed when he hangs up.)
Customer: “Ha, sorry about that. I guess I should change my ring tone, huh?”
Me: “No, I loved the irony!”
