Merry Christmas!

I promise to post more in January--but for now Happy Holidays!

The Definition Of Stupidity

On the way to San Francisco, we stopped to eat in Barstow. You may have seen that Taco Bell has gotten some bad press recently due to an E.Coli outbreak. This did not stop us from grabbing some dollar menu values on our road trip. It did, however, appear to stop many other possible patrons from visiting Taco Bell that night. And that was what became our downfall. After taking a couple bites of the food, it became evident that this was the food that was cooked at 12:00PM (it was 7:00PM at the time.) I also overheard the workers discussing the "12 customers in 5 hours" they had experienced. It was around the time that I stated that the potatoes tasted like they had been fried about 5 times over that we both felt a little queasy. The real insanity hit at about noon the next day though, as P&AF began projectile vomitting in a pub on Howard Street. Oh yes, we had a fun rest of the weekend in the hotel room. So I do not recommend eating at a restaurant that is suffering from a recent food poisoning outbreak.

Uniform Thievery

At Von's last night we were in the frozen food aisle. There was a gentleman who appeared to be a Von's worker or distributor straightening the Weight Watcher's Smart Ones dinners. We were searching for jalapeno poppers. When we couldn't find them, P&AF asked the guy straightening the Smart Ones. The man replied, "I don't work here." Apparently he stole the Von's uniform and name badge from somewhere and decided to wear it to the grocery store while facing the frozen foods aisle as an elaborate ruse to confuse unsuspecting shoppers.
