OMG VAN

[Plecostomus]

So last night as I was nodding off the wife (out of nowhere) asks "hey how many people where you work?" I told her "about 25-30." Then I fell asleep.


About two hours ago... I get a call up to the office. Figuring the owner wants to discuss something or other I stop what I'm doing clean up and go up expecting a meeting.

I walk into the common area and there is the wife, with 200 gyros and a huge "thing" full of french-fries. Owner is reading a catering menu.... with the diner's logo on it.

Ok this is great, I love gyros.... So we're all eating and I ask The Wife how she managed to fit all this in her car. She points outside at the big... yellow... van...


ME: When did we get a van?
HER: Eight thirty this morning.
ME:
HER: It's last years model so I got it for a discount. By the way I need you to build racks and hold-downs so I can move catering stuff.
ME:
OWNER: Tell her if she makes four pans of this "all beef lasagna" and six loafs of GB for the shop we'll design and build the racks for free."
ME:


...needless to say the still hasn't worn off but I'm slightly more coherent now. Wonderful thing, them gyros.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

You mean gyros aren't the sort of things you find inside navigational equipment?

[looks up Gyros on WIkipedia]

Oh.



Still... that van. Can I get one too?

 

[Angry Angel]

I love gyros, I love Greek meat, I'm hungry again.

 

[Aurian]

Your wife is one smart cookie. I approve.

 

[Goliath]

Gyros are good.

Not as good as yellow vans, of course. But still pretty good.

 

[Amaris]

Your wife, dear Sir, is brilliant.

[Azlynn]

Your wife is seriously awesome. One day you're going to wake up and she's freaking President.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Pleco: "Uhh, when did we get a throne room?"

Her: "When I became God Empress of The Universe."

 

[Plecostomus]

That would be a severe waste of her talents and skills.

Pleco: "Uhh, when did we get a throne room?"

Her: "When I became God Empress of The Universe."

Running a diner and running the Universe are two totally different skill-sets.

Yeah, but she can be GEotU as a hobby during quiet times at the diner. It'll give her something to do

She has Serious Plans with the diner. I doubt she has time to manage the universe.

Right now, on the weekends I'm clearing the back room and setting it up as an "internet lounge."

She's slowly ramping up a catering service on the side.

...and she's making rubbernecken at the abandoned diner three towns over on the corner of Busy Street and Major Highway. Closed because the owner felt he was too good to pay taxes.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Might I say, you've made an excellent choice of a wife?

Hey best of luck too her, hope she accomplishes all she wants and more.

Just remember the TrekBBS poster discount

This does not bode well. If she takes orders and then produces eight times the amount requested, she'll quickly be in the poorhouse. I wish her good luck, of course, but am concerned about her counting.

Sounds like she's taking the "way to control a man is through his stomach" path to GEotU, you wait, one morning you'll wake up to some new lounge furniture and a really big chair for her...

Seriously though - way to go TheWifeOfBrian - if you guys start up a Canadian branch, let me know, I'll be there! Either to work, or to eat

 

[JonathonWally]

Next time I take a ride up your way, I'm coming in for gyro!

Ha! It's FAR too late. In my hand, sales brochure from the agency. Going out to take a look tomorrow with a structural engineer and kitchen tech.

Bugger that I'll mail you one. What's your address?

Uh, you ever feed 30 fabricators, machinists, welders and engineers?

Trust me, costwise Gyros are one of the most profitable things I make. I sell 'em for eight bucks each, I'm making six profit on 'em.

Besides... it was all part of my Cunning Plan to get my van outfitted at a discount.

Smart, funny and bionic. I don't know what else Pleco could want.
