Bill Engval is one of my favorite comedians. His most famous catch phrase is "here's your sign..." It refers to the act of putting a sign on someone's back that says "idiot," when they say something that sounds normal, but on further analysis reveals how stupid they are.
For example, I overheard this conversation in the drive through today:
Customer: "about the bacon and cheese baked potato -- what comes on it?"
Cashier: (silence)
Cashier: "bacon and cheese, ma'am..."
My mental response: "well ma'am, it comes with diced and sauteed porcine filet, with lightly braised fromage zests, garnished on the side with cream gently aged in cultures, as well as congealed milk solids."
(trans: bacon, cheese sprinkles, sour cream, and butter.)
HERE'S YOUR SIGN.......
