Whut?




I was at the airport in Houston waiting for my flight back to Portland and I stopped at a pizza bar. They have exactly one choice. It's called the "combo." It's a coke and a slice of oleaginous goo masquerading as pizza for the price of a coke and a slice of pizza (minus one aggurah). I walked up to the counter and said "COMBO." Now I know that I slur my words. I have since I was a child, but in the above circumstances, with such a limited culinary repertoire, I fully expect to be "understood" if I said "condo" or "congo" or in fact anything except "What say I vault this counter and become your love monkey?" What I got instead was the all-purpose, everlasting, ubiquitous Houstonian: "Whut?"
