    Arcane Knowledge

    Took a couple of PK's I'm selling to the dry cleaner and the youngster behind the counter wasn't sure how to ring up the kilts.
    A veteran dry cleaner helped her with "They go under skirts. Then count the pleats".

    The girl then asked "What are pleats?".

    Uh...Methinks you should find a different cleaner?

    YOu have GOT to be kidding... thank goodness my cleaner over this way doesnt subscribe to that philosophy... just had a kilt cleaned - with its 30+ pleats it woudl have cost a bloody fortune using that pricing!!!

    I guess the $7.50 wasnt so bad after all!!!

    This seems to be universal these days. Whenever I have nowhere better to go I'll drop into a 'Jack In The Box' for a meal. I generally ask whatever little piece of fluff happens to be behind the counter if the "TWO MONSTER TACOS" that are advertised are made from 'real monsters', you have no idea how many have to ask their managers in order to answer my question.
