Tastes Great, Less Meaning
I was out to dinner last night with Lovely Wife Kimberly, and our waiter started the meal by asking us what we'd like on our salads.
L.W.Kimberly: "I'll have Thousand Island dressing."
Waiter: "Sounds good! And for you?"
Reid: "No salad, thanks."
Waiter: "Sounds good!"
I'm very confused at this point. What sounds good, salad with Thousand Island dressing, or no salad at all? How can "no salad" sound good? I somehow doubt he was listening.
Reid: "Instead of salad, bring me a bowl of lightly braised beagle ears."
Waiter: "Sounds good!"
Reid: "Then, I'd like you to take it out to the dumpster, and let a drunken hobo defecate in the bowl."
Waiter: "Sounds good!"
Reid: "After that, bring it back in and spritz it with some leftover 'Forever Krystle' cologne, then serve it to me."
Waiter: "Sounds good!"
It's always good to begin your fine dining experience by realizing your server isn't really listening at all. Then, when he brought me a lukewarm Diet Dr. Pepper instead of the beverage I asked for, I wasn't surprised in the least.
