1. If you buy a smoothie, not knowing whether you're going to like it or not, see if they have a small. If they don't, and they accidently make a lot extra, and they offer you the extra, but you don't know if you're even going to like it or not, don't take the extra.
2. If a guy asks you if the tribal design on the back of his new motorcycle helmet sort of looks like a face, which he doesn't want it to look like, don't say "Or a kitty cat!" Trust me on this one.
Would Tasmanian Devil have been any better?
Re: the shake, you've got that right. What kills me, though, is when I order something (like a shake or, say, a brandy Alexander) and the soda jerk (or, say, the bartender) throws away all the stuff that's left in the mixer after filling my glass with only 2/3 of the stuff that he'd just made. Tragedy! Insanity!!!
One of the many reasons to love the Charcoal Pit (in Wilmington, DE) is that they serve their shakes in the metal mixing container, with a glass on the side for you to pour into.
Oh man, I could go for the Charcoal Pit right now.
