  • About 6 inches

    Before work today, I popped over to the Sonic across the street from The Store to get a breakfast burrito. Because I don't drive, I went to the walk-up order board, which is the same as the drive-up boards, except that instead of taking your order over the intercom, a clerk comes out and talks to you in person. When I got there, there was one person ahead of me, and the clerk came out to ask him for his order, and this happened;

    Clerk: What would you like?
    C: I just want a chili cheese dog.
    Clerk: Do you want the six-inch dog, or the footlong?
    C: What's the difference?



    The thread title, of course, is the logical answer to that question. I know that most of the world sensibly uses the metric system instead of our outdated and arbitrary system of measurement, but this guy had an American accent and was quite obviously from here. Even if he were Canadian, or from some other English-speaking country, most Anglophones have at least a basic understanding of the fact that a foot equals twelve inches, and twelve is a bigger number than six.

    How you survive to adulthood without learning something that gets taught in first grade is beyond me.

    The followup question is, "Can he handle the extra six inches?"

      The local professional baseball team around here has (had?) a 24-inch hot dog...

        “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

          I find that a little hard to swallow.

              The footlong costs more.

                      Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

                        With the foot long, you get a bigger wiener.

                          Come to think of it, none of the inches on my wiener are extra.

                            The foot long comes with extra mayo. You'll relish the thought of putting our foot long wieners in your mouth. Our wieners really cut the mustard. The other guys can only hope to ketchup.
