recently overheard

Server: "Are you about ready to order or do you need a few minutes?"

Guest: "I think I am ready."

Server: (pulling out her handy dandy order pad)"Okay I am ready when you are"

Guest: "I think I will have the chicken dinner."

Server: "Ma'am would you like the three piece chicken dinner or the 5 piece?"

Guest: "What's the difference?"

Server: (looking confused) " Ummmm.......two pieces"

Fortunately she stopped just short of saying "duh"

damn, that may be the best example of stupid i've heard in a long time. i still tease my wife for a brain fart she once had, when she asked a server if the salmon on the menu tasted like fish. the server and i cracked up. my wife later defended herself by saying she meant was it really stereotypically fishy and oily in taste/smell. still was funny to hear.
