For the easily amused

I've blogged before about my two favorite DJs, Roula and Ryan. They're on the air every morning from 6:00 - 10:00 and they do some amusing things - which is one of the reasons I listen to them.

Well, this morning they sent someone (I assume their intern) out to conduct an "experiment" at a local fast food restaurant. The premise was, drive-thru restaurants waste a lot of your time so they wanted to give some payback, right?

So they send out Kevin (aka Special K) to a local drive-thru restaurant for breakfast.

We first join Special K as he's one car back from placing his order. He acknowledges that there are cars behind him in line (which was the first time they considered that this would inconvenience customers probably more than the restaurant's staff but they decided to plow on anyway).

He pulls up to the thing (what do you call it?) you place your order at and orders a breakfast taco - that's it. We hear the lady tell him it will be $1.18. He pulls up.

When he gets to the window the lady says something we can't hear but Special K says, "You said it'd be $1.18."

(unintelligible talk from the lady)

Special K: "Can I borrow a quarter?"

Anyway, there was some more talk and he offered to buy her something (the DJs commented that it sounded bad that he couldn't afford his own breakfast but he's offering to buy her something...he said "she looks hungry!"). He paid for his food and they brought it out to him.

At which time he cut his engine and proceeded to eat his breakfast while still at the window. The DJs were expecting the staff to get ugly about it but they said nothing.

Meanwhile, the car behind him honks his horn at him. The DJs tell Special K that if they come to the window to investigate the honk to ask for more salsa. They did. He did. They brought him more salsa.

The car behind him honks again. The DJs tell Special K to prop his feet on the dashboard and get all comfortable while he's eating. He does.

The lady comes over to the window and politely asks him if he would go park "over there" to finish eating his meal. Special K says, "You want me to park over there to finish eating?"

"Yes."

"It's okay, I'm almost done. Can I buy you anything while I'm here?" He continues to eat, at the window.

The person in the car behind him lays on the horn.

Special K finishes up and drives off - the staff of the restaurant never getting ugly or rude. The guy in the car behind him though....

I was LMAO when this was going on. What can I say? I'm easily amused. LOL

LOLOL! That's hilarious!

When I lived in San Diego, there was a pair of DJ's that did stuff like that. I used to love the morning commute to work for that reason. :)

That's too funny! I was laughing as I was reading. How do they come up with this stuff?
