The stupid rule
« on: April 25, 2008, 11:33:18 PM »
My local deli made the decision to get one of those numbered ticket dispensers in order to serve me better.  I welcomed them to the 20th century by blatantly ignoring their large pink sign instructing me to take a number.  Realizing there was a crowd of customers forming, the kid with future middle-management written all over his dull expression looks at the digital counter on the wall and asks who is holding number 65.  No one is holding any number, which is made obvious by the silent sound of nobody caring.  Being the rebel I am, i took a number even though his coworker was already slicing my cheese.  It was number 72.  I  exclaim, "The next ticket says 72."  The kid says okay, advances the counter to 72, then calls out for the customer holding ticket 72.  I was speechless and just stood there looking at him.  Before anyone could react he clicks the counter up again and calls out for number 73.  Baffled silence from the crowd continues.  Followed by another click. 

Please form your own conclusions; the end.

No, RIGHT. I'd much rather get to wait sitting down in the bank, than standing up in a big long queue

I learned this from Divito:  You didn't laugh at my story therefore you have no sense of humor. 

But seriously though.  I know it's a step forward; I did welcome them to the 20th!  That wasn't the point of my story, though.  Don't think I'm a pedo when I say this, but it's the kids I'm concerned with. 

Many of them give me no hope.  I weep for the future.   :'(

I sort of laughed at your story. Though I had to read it twice before I really understood what happened. My brain is malfunctioning today.

Nah, I am a pretty sorry writer.  Plus the title is meant to be a double-entendre but is just a bit misleading: stupid people are the majority, and since I live in a democracy, they rule.  Also, ticketing is a stupid rule for a Deli counter that is more than 100 feet long in the middle of a super market.  Also dongs.

Why won't that happen on a flat earth?  ???

I would assume he meant that if you walk along the equator in a straight line you will get back where you started on our planet and that wouldn't happen on a flat earth.

and again why does it matter?

you would start walking then hit the "ice wall"

if the earth is flat and the equator is the a a circle inside the larger circle of the "ice wall" then you cannot stay on the equator if you walk in a straight line

if the earth is flat and the equator is the a a circle inside the larger circle of the "ice wall" then you cannot stay on the equator if you walk in a strait line

But you'd never know you weren't walking in a straight line.

The equator isn't a straight line on a round earth either... think about it.

The lines of latitude are actually concentric circles going around the north pole.  You follow a compass due east at the equator and you will go around in a circle and eventually come back to where you started.

You will never see the ice wall.
