Camrose???

Since all I've written about so far is embarrassing things other people have done I figured I should share something embarassing I've done.

I was heading up to Camrose with my cousin and wife a year or two ago, and before we left the city we stopped at one of the best fast food chains out there for dinner or lunch or something. Yes, the restaurant I'm talking about is Arby's. But I'm not writing about the most excellent Beef and Cheddar sandwiches that this most excellent fine food establishment serves, so I'll continue without dwelling on this. I went up to order, and when the person behind the counter, lets call him Ted, asked me where I was going I quickly responded with one word: "Camrose". Ted didn't say anything back, and gave me a bit of a weird look. As I stood there I realized that asking me where I was going was kind of a weird question, and responded with a weird and puzzled look of my own with the thought of "what kind of crack addict question is that? ya crack addict". We stood there in kind of an awkward silence for a few minutes (maybe seconds) before I figured out that he must have asked me what I wanted, not where I was going. Needless to say my so called friends and my so called wife thought this was frickin hilarious. The whole drive up to Camrose I was bombarded with shouts of "Camrose" done in an awkward slightly hickish dumbass accent. To this day they still throw out the occasional "Camrose" when answering a question from me. I don't generally take too well to being bugged, so this was torture for me. Thanks again Ted.
