Love on the Menu

If we know we’re going to tumble later in the sack, we reject lists of foods like attorneys wrangling over a jury.

Me: You, number 13 in the back. Do you contain garlic?

Food Juror #13: Yes, but only a little, and really it’s elephant garlic, so super mild, and …

Me: Thank you, you’re dismissed.

Alex: You, number vun, are you vith curry deesh?

Food Juror #1: (whispering to Food Juror #2) What the hell did she say?

Food Juror #2: I don’t know. I think she asked if you’re curry.
