That’s Some Shifty Excuse
(My friend goes into a popular fast food place one day and orders four soft-serve cones. We are all travelling together in a car.)
Server: “Could you wait 15 minutes?”
Friend: “Why? Is the machine broken or being cleaned?”
Server: “No, I’ll be done by then and I won’t have to make them. So, are you going to wait?”
Friend: *pause* “No.”
