my friend poprocks and i have done some great things together. my friend bex and i have done some great things together also. but one time, poprocks AND bex and i did something really fun together. well, until it went awry at the very end...
we were all in poprocks' car, we wanted to do something fun. bex, always full of good, mischievous, (and usually cheap) ideas suggested that we try to get things for free. apparently, if you go through a drive-thru and flirt sufficiently, people give you free things. poprocks was completely intrigued with this idea, as she is with anything involving flirting.
we pulled into wendy's. since poprocks was the driver, she was the spokesperson. the voice from the order box asked what we wanted. poprocks said quite genuinely, "well...what could we get for free?" first shot. the kid was way nice and said he would give us some free drinks.
sipping our free drinks, we were now hooked. but we had to think of some more creative ways of going about this. and this included thinking of the most heinous ways to approach it. we came up with some great answers depending on what they said. for example:
voicebox: can i take your order?
poprocks: i don't know...are you man enough to take my order?
and so on.
however, after our initial success, we ran into some snags. the next three or four drive-thrus we tried were girls. uggh. this is the interchange that occurred each time:
GIRL voicebox: can i help you?
poprocks: NO!
then she would drive off, disgusted.
poprocks' driving could here be addressed as well. she was known for driving great distances with only one contact in, if any, which she needs to safely drive. she's also known for driving over curbs and doing other illegal things when the fancy strikes her.
with this as a backdrop, we pulled into what would be our last drive-thru. planning to use our favorite line ("are you man enough...?") poprocks suddenly got very nervous. when the male voicebox said exactly what he was supposed to for the punchline, poprocks was laughing so hard and was so embarrassed that she barely eeked out the words: "are you man enough to take my order?" in a really scary, low voice. she then freaked out, put her car in reverse and backed into a car which had pulled in behind us.
after the information was exchanged, it wasn't so bad.
