So I've been really sick over the past 5 days, haven't really eaten yet and have huge swollen tonsils making talking, eating etc quite a challenge.
Yesterday I decide I'll order some fresh "home made" soup from a chinese restaurant so I call this local place up and here I'll try to reenact the conversation the best I can, remember that I can't pronounce very well and have a massive deep voice.
Chinese man picks up phone "Herro"
I gather my breath to ease the pain off my throat to say "hello"
**gaaasp
CM- herro, herro?
MSJ - Hello
CM - Ya, what can I get you
MSJ - what's in your chef's special soup?
CM - Ya one chef's special soup
MSJ - No, I want to know what's in it first
CM - Ya chef's special soup
MSJ - sigh, but what's in it?
CM - what what?
MSJ - what is inside your soup?
CM - Pork, beef or chicken?
MSJ -What? No, what's in your chef's soup, inside the soup, what is in there
CM - I don't understand.
MSJ - What are the major ingredients in the soup!?
CM - ahhhhh.
MSJ - Sigh, never mind i'll just have a wonton soup
CM - one Wonton soup, you pick up, 10 mins, plus other gibberish
MSJ - respond to gibberish with "ok"
CM, MSJ - silence....bye
So I go to pick up my soup to find the restaurant closed, not set to open for another half hour, gah! I have very little food/energy in me at this point so i'm pretty shaky and starting to see black spots. I call up the china guy again
MSJ - Hey i'm here to pick up my soup but the door is locked
CM - Someone on way to open
hang up
So I wait, and look through the glass to see no one coming...and then I realize...I called the chinese restaurant with the same name from another town! So this restaurant isn't set to open for another 15 mins so I decide to just walk back to my car and wait it up...half hour goes by and still no sign of life as i'm shrivelling like a dried up zombie on my dash board.
Fuck it, I ended up going to the local coffee shop
