Doing a Body Good

I went to an Irish pub with some friends a few nights ago. I saw they had a brownie sundae on the menu. I decided that sounded good so I ordered it with a glass of milk. The waitress then proceeded to make fun of me for ordering a glass of milk. She asked if I was a five year-old and if I wanted a bottle. Which of the following do you think best described my reaction?

A) I laughed along with her.

B) I grabbed her head, slammed it down onto the table on top of my menu, and proceeded to scream at her. "See that? See that there? What's that word? CHOCOLATE! That's right. And what do people like to drink when they're having a lot of chocolate, hmmm? NO NOT COFFEE YOU MORON!!! It's late, and I have to WORK TOMORROW. So now that we've ruled out coffee what else might a person drink with a LARGE FUDGE BROWNIE. Speak up... What was that? No, I'm not going to kill you. Just answer the question. Did you say milk? Oh so now that we've established that a reasonable person might order a glass of milk with there desert it seems a little unkind for you to criticize my beverage choice doesn't it? DOESN'T IT? And I seem like a reasonable person don't I. Sure I am. OK, glad we straightened that out."

C) I sat and stared at the table with a mentally subnormal look on my face.

D) I sat and wept silently.
