Waitress beatdown #2. The other day I mentioned our dumb waitress at the local barbecue joint. Another example of her intellectual prowess was her asking us if we'd ever been to the restaurant before. Every one of us eats there at least once a month, if not more, so we enthusiastically responded "yes." Despite this, she insisted on explaining step by step how the menu works, how the barbecue sauces work, etc. If I tell you "yes, I know how it works" and you respond with beginner instructions, you deserve to have your head dunked in a deep vat of caramel.
