Hurricane Irene

I was in a chinese restaurant yesterday and I saw something that was unsettling. A young lady walked in while I was waiting for some beef with broccoli, and said she was returning the chicken wings because she ordered half a chicken. So they said ‘nor probbrem.’ They proceeded to dump in a half a chicken into the boiling oil from a dusty old shelf
and then picked out one by one the wings the girl had rejected. He throws them into the same oil and the girl standing next to me proceeded to say ‘is he supposed to be doing that?’ So I laughed and said ‘ouch. I want my money back.’ She laughed and I laughed and then before I knew it she was gone with her half a chicken in tow. And I’m wondering to myself, and this is the unsettling part I was talking about – I didn’t get her phone number!
