Get It Together Regina - Part 1 - Chinese Food

A guest post by my husband:

This is the first part in a series i call "Get It Together Regina!"

My attempt to order Chinese food:

- Call to first restaurant:"Hello do you have an online menu?""No, it's in the phone book"(Do people still use phone books?!)

- Call to second restaurant;"Hello do you have an online menu?""What does that mean?""Is you menu online?"-Pause-"I'd like to see your menu using my computer so i can order food.""we don't have that. use the phone book."

- Call to third restaurant; (who has an online menu - no links it's a PDF)"Hello i'd like to order the dinner for two.""We're not taking any orders for a half hour.""That's fine, you can deliver it later on.""Ok, so you have to call back in a half hour""Really?!""Yes, we're to busy now and we can't take any orders, but if you call back in a half hour it won't be a problem.""Ok, what if i give you all my information now and then you wait a half hour to start making the food?""We can't do that? But if you call back in a half hour it will be fine.""Riiight. Ok, talk to you in a half hour."

Solution (Thought up by my super intelligent wife) -Call back the first place and order the stuff from the "Dinner For Two" special from the third place. PERFECT!
