5) Friday’s Fool
I worked at a small local restaurant for years and we were pretty well-known for our Friday Fish Fry. One night at work (not Friday – this will be important), a customer was looking at the menu and asked “What’s a Friday?”
Bewildered, I looked at her and said “Uh, it’s a day of the week..comes after Thursday…” not really sure how to continue.
“Well, it says on your menu that you only serve Fish Fry on Fridays so what exactly is a Friday?”
She thought Friday was a thing, like a plate or some fancy garnish. It took a solid 2 minutes to explain to her that Friday was a day of the week and that we only served Fish Fry on that day – like most restaurants in the state of NY. Finally, her friend chimed in and we successfully explained to her that Friday is a day of the week and today is not Friday therefore you cannot have a Fish Fry. My brain hurts all over again.
