What a Day.

It was going to be an interesting day. The aura was in the air.
So my dad's huge SUV type gas guzzler needed new tires.
So off to the repair shop we go.
Next door is a restaurant, so we decided to get something to eat due to our lack of transport apparatus. We ordered a plate of nacho from an overly friendly middle-aged waitress. She brought them out smiling , " I dunno if yous is gunna was more food after this." Despite her lack of speaking skills she sure was observant. This plate of Nachos was HUGE. A serving platter piled a foot high, no joke. We finally got through them and decided to order something light as the main course. Dad got a sandwich and I got some sort of shrimp frames. Then as we were eating the waitress came out with this little Dirt Devil vaccuum thing, but it was electric. As she pushed it along she talked to the entire room as if doing an info-mercial about the benefits of a SHARK. She went on and on and on. Then She finally said, " I just love this thing, but maybe I am getting carried away." She pushed it back into it;s corner and looked longingly into it's shinyness. She then went back into the kitchen and disappeared for a long time and couldn't be found when we needed to go. Finally we got her, paid and left, as we were leaving she yelled, "IF YOU THINK THE NACHOS WERE BIG, TRY THE OPEN FACE TURKEY SANDWICH!!"

Throughly disturbed we went to pick up Mum from work and we were early so we decided to have a look around. We found a Dairy Queen, they are so rare these days you can't help but to stop. We pulled up to the menu at the drive thru and it seemed dead. We inched forward and a booming voice, " CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER!"
So we ordered our one medium Chocolate Malt, one Large Choc. Banana Strawberry shake, and one medium cookie dough blizzard. So after we we told to pull around we sat for about 7 minutes waiting. He came out with the shake and closed the window and disappeared for another 5 minutes. Re-appears with a blizzard, closes the window and is gone for about 8 more minutes, hands us the malt, closes the window, opens the window hands us straws and VERY intensely says, " YOU HAVE A NICE DAY NOW." My father and i agreed that we would in fear he would find us and set his Jesus lizard on us.

Needless to say that was the most invigorating DQ experience I'VE ever had.

Wow. I think if those had happened on two separate days, it wouldn't have been *as* weird. But, wow. That's all I can say.
