Wait, I'll Get You a Laptop and a Projector
A guest Probeatorial by
Rose J. Grimbe, Starbucks Customer
Hold on a second, because I have a Dell laptop and a slide projector in the
car. I'm going to go out and get it for you. That way, you can better
explain your order to the barista. Of course, all I want is a fucking cup of
coffee, but you are clearly handcuffed by the constraints of human speech.
The words that human beings have developed to survive for thousands of years
are clearly not enough to describe something as complex as your coffee
order. Never mind that I'd like to grab a cup of joe and pick up my son Brandon from
hockey practice. I can be late. He's just 11, he can wait. Your situation is
serious. I want to go out to the car and hook up the whole presentation
system that will allow you to graphically explain the primary and secondary
caffeine, soy, milk and sweeteners involved in the towering creation that is
your order. No, I insist.
