Eavesdropping
Written on Thursday, February 09, 2006 by Jessica
One of my cubemates just offered the other cubemate some jalapeño Pringles, which he pronounced with a "j" instead of an "h." (Okay, so he's not into Mexican food. Doesn't know how to pronounce "jalapeno." No biggie.)
After the other cubemate accepted the chips, he actually smelled them and said, "Nice bouquet." He continued to say something about them while chewing -- I unfortunately couldn't hear -- and then commented, "Strong finish."
It totally cracked me up. He was as serious about these chips as wine tasters are about tasting wine. :) Clearly, I need to enlarge my world so I, too, can get this much enjoyment out of jalapeño Pringles.
LOL!!!! OMG!! I can so totally see that happening!!!
I used to work at Taco Bell, and one of my coworkers always pronounced it "tor-til-uhz." It didn't matter how often someone said "tor-tee-uhz," she just wouldn't get the hint.
