Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 23, 2013

viva la diferencia. nether one of us would be complete without the other

Women don’t get enough credit for multitasking because they make it look too easy.

Wiley, the smoke from Eddie’s pipe! Ha!….You’re killin’ me man……But he should know by now that eggin’ Flo on won’t get him anywhere but in trouble……

Hoisted on his own petard.

Should have waited until you got your order first Eddie, then insult the cook.

Richard, Mr. Barry is correct. For example, men don’t notice dust on everything until the third or fourth week….

OK, OK, the seventh or eighth week…picky picky picky…

You tell’im Flo…

Many years ago, a friend of ours ran a restaurant in our small town (great cook, big hairy biker guy [BHBG], took no guff but gave none to begin with). One day, had a smart-alec out-of-towner come in who shouted at the waitress (petite woman, also the owner’s daughter-in-law) that he wanted “breakfast, but he was in a hurry and move his order in front of everyone else’s since he had stuff to do that day” (this on a crowded Saturday when half the town was there for breakfast (the other half waited for lunch, since that’s all that could fit in the building at the time)). BHBG heard this in the kitchen, and a couple of minutes later personally brought out a plate with two raw eggs, three strips of uncooked bacon, two pieces of raw toast (plain white bread) and butter still in the wrapper, a cup of coffee grounds (no water), and a peeled orange stuffed into a juice glass (at least he peeled it first). BHBG put everything in front of Mr. Rude Business Guy [MRBG], handed him a pack of matches, and said, “Fast enough for ya, bud?” MRBG was pretty soon a fixture at the restaurant every few days, since 1) it was on his sales route, and 2) once he got his breakfast, decided the food was pretty good. Man, I miss my little town and all of the characters.

Man, I hope you’re not trying to do a Maine accent here.

Breakfast can be so cruel (especially in that pre-coffee state).

Multitasking is way overrated; the context-switching adds too much latency to each task…

Women multi-task; men multi-flask.

Applauding!

I told you Wiley was a woman!

that should larn im!

cool story Emjaycee :)

BRAVA!!!!

Eddie – no fret, that’s what you asked for……

Is bitching, whining, nagging and complaining multi-tasking?

Oh, Omnius, you witty, insightful soul, you!

Never tick of a waitress ….especially if she happens to also be the cook AND the owner of the joint….because one more thing women are good at ….they NEVER forget!

My ex grumbled all the way to Macdonalds that he was not going to eat their breakfast and they couldn’t make him. The moment we entered the store they announced that breakfast was over and no longer would be served. He slammed his fist down on the counter and demanded his breakfast!

When are those two gonna get married already?

knew there was a reason why I always liked Flo.

His words, not her’s.

Revenge is so sweet!
