sorry bro, gotta tell the tale!

[Master Reeve]

My brother-in-law had gone for lunch from his workplace to a hamburger place that I won't name. The chain was having a special promotion for their new "Honey BBQ Burger".

My brother walked up to the counter and looked at the big sign advertising the new sandwich and asked the girl behind the counter, "What kind of sauce comes on the Honey BBQ Burger?"

I swear to you, she blinked a few times, then glanced at me and smiled with laughter in her eyes before looking bac at him to reply, "Honey BBQ Sauce, sir!" At least she took it well, and with a sense of humor.

To this day, my bro-in-law and I still laugh when he relates his own 'what a customer should not ask' moment, from the customer's point of view.

Well, at least you can all laugh about it!

"What kind of sauce comes on the Honey BBQ Burger?"

lol

If I were you, I would have piped up and told your brother-in-law that the sauce was "ranch" or "buffalo sauce"--see if he would catch on!

That reminds me of a classic scene from "Chicken Run."

"Chickens go in, pies go out!"

"What kind of pies?"

(Stunned silence, and an annoyed look) "Apple."

"Ooh, I love apple pie!"

*snicker* I love that scene, Mike.
