Chow The Funniest Thing That I, Age 13, Had Ever Seen
Posted by Lindy West on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 10:32 AM
In 1995, my dad ordered a butterscotch milkshake at Kidd Valley and this happened:
I laughed forever.

Seriously, if anyone here doesn't fucking love Lindy West, then they should find a new website to read. Totally brilliant.

I'm 34 now, was 21 in 1995, and therefore turned 13 in 1987. I would have found this hilarious at every age.
Also, I'd think that the programmers of such a receipt would be obligated to avoid appreviating butterscotch this way. As a writer of techinical requirements, however, I would try to make this happen as often as possible. (Do you know how easy it is to "accidentally" abbreviate assistant to "ass"? Easier than you think.)

Ha ha, Lindy that is so Good!! Definitely making me laugh. I'm so glad you saved this.

I think it's funny, and I'm about 36 years older than 13.
Now I'm depressed that I'm so fucking old.

Why didn't Kidd Valley do themselves one better and just print "butt shake"? Because it makes more sense, grammatically, and 13 year olds love butt shakes, duh.

The other day, my friend Jonas treated a group of us to breakfast at our fav Ballard bar. The charge on his credit card was listed as "hattie shat - $123".

@15 - I have that same trouble. And the problem with Analysis (unlike Associate/Assoc and Assistant/Asst) is that there's no good abbreviation. Anlys? Anlyss?

I save weird shit like that in a little binder with clear pocket pages. It's great for reliving random hilarity from years gone by.

Used to be able to go to World Wrapps at Westlake and order a small Strawberry Orange Banana smoothie - the receipt would say:
1 small S O B
Yes, yes I am.
1 small S O B
Yes, yes I am.

Next time you see an auto hand dryer in a public restroom, look at the direction pad(the old ones).
9 times out of 10, someone has scratched out certain words so it reads as an erotic instructional snip:Press Butt, Rub vigorously, etc.
