The Lack of Fat Men at Jack-In-The-Box

So my friend/coworker, Jana, and I drove down to St George today for work. It’s funny how slap happy you get when you are forced to sit in a small space with someone and have to try come up with enough conversation to fill 4 hours. We got so desperate we even played MASH.... In case you are interested, I will be getting married and spending my honeymoon in Ireland. We will have two kids and zero dogs (I tried to get Jana to change this last part but she just wouldn’t have it. She insisted that this is prophecy and that we’d be messing with fate). I’m going to be a doctor (I’m assuming this so called “fate” will somehow get me this license without having to go to school) and my husband is a pilot. I will also drive a brand new Maxima and live in a mansion with a live-in cleaning lady… Now that’s a prophecy I can look forward to!

After playing MASH we decided to play a little Q&A. This is where I ask some of my many random questions and Jana and/or Kara tells me their theories. For one of these questions I asked Jana why there is always at least one really skinny guy with a mullet that works in every fast food restaurant. She says that it’s because fat men do not need to work in these places because they obviously can afford to eat otherwise. As for the mullet, well she insists that it is part of the required Dress Code…. The great thing about this is that when she answered me she didn’t even have to stop to think. The answer was just there waiting to come out.

After this game I started thinking about some of the other questions I have asked in previous times and I’m starting to think that Jana and Kara have been feeding me a bunch of crap. During our last drive down here, which was for work as well, I asked how sea level is determined. I never quite understood it because it just seemed like it was supposed to be more complicated then it really was. So anyway, as I said, I asked how sea level is determined and Kara’s immediate response was, “Well, they add the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans then take the square root of that and that number is the level part of Kansas and then they go from there.” Now I’m not a gullible person but when someone just spews out an answer off the top of their head I tend to think they might know what they are talking about. I have learned however that this is not the case with these girls. They just apparently have very active imaginations.

Can you believe my company pays me to spend time with 2 of my best friends? Talk about a sweet life!

MASH is prophecy! Though fate hasn't worked in my big plans. Must be that I've played MASH too much and so now fate is all confused! ;)


We only feed you crap cause you keep asking us questions! You'd think you'd have learned something after the sea level and economy talks! ;)

You don't mean you just NOW realized they don't know anymore than you do??

Kara's answer is going to be one of those laughing triggers for me. I laughed hard! And can't quit laughing.

Ahaha ..part of the dress code! Love it! And the square root of the distance between the two oceans... too good. I can't believe these things just roll off their tongues. You have good friends. And the fact that you are paid to go on road trips with them is just way too good to be true. But the mansion with the housekeeper... that could definitely come true lol.
