Hi Ho Hi Ho It's Thursday 150!

[Karen]

I have lured Mario down with a jar of maraschino cherries (only three left inside), and snagged the can of whipped ceam with only a minor incident (which Lady helpfully cleaned up, as it landed by her nose).

Just putting on a fresh pot for tea, I've got Chai (with caffiene) and blueberry (without) if anyone wants some.

Thursday's may have some competition.

'Creative plumbing' delivers beer

Norwegian beer prices are some of the highest in the world
A woman said she thought she was in heaven when she turned on the kitchen tap to find a plentiful supply of beer.
Haldis Gundersen was planning to do the washing up when she made the unusual discovery at her apartment in Kristiansund, west Norway.

But two flights below, workers in a bar faced the more disappointing realisation that water was flowing from their beer taps.

A worker had connected a beer barrel to the apartment water pipe by mistake.

"I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks, and beer came out," Ms Gundersen told Reuters news agency. "We thought we were in heaven."

But the beer was flat and tasted odd, she said.

'Really creative'

Downstairs at the Big Tower Bar, workers realised what the problem was - a new barrel had been misconnected to Ms Gundersen's water supply.

"The water and beer pipes do touch each other, but you have to be really creative to connect them together," said Per Egil Myrvang from the local beer distributor. He helped employees to rectify the problem over the telephone.

Ms Gundersen bore no grudge. "If it happens again, I'm going to order Baileys," she said.

In Norway, the sale of alcohol is controlled through a state monopoly and beer prices are some of the highest in the world.

That is just too funny. This is the stuff that dreams are made of...........

It also reminds me of the commercial for Bud Light called the Magic Refrigerator. At the end of the commercial all of the guys are bowing down and giving homage to the fridge.

Gini,

You mentioned the bar still being open? How about a cup of Coffee with Godiva in it?

My work week is almost over, so I can start celebrating early!

[gini]

Lady's Human - with pleasure I serve you fresh coffee and Godiva.

Gosh, you and ES actually agreeing - heaven only knows what is next!!

[Lady's Human]

BTW, where did that case of stale peeps come from that I tripped over on my way in?

Oh, I am so glad that you found them! I knew I had misplaced some and I was frantic looking for them. Their season is coming up soon you know!

Whew.. I'm pooped. A nice virgin slushee, please... it's very warm today.

We did 98 cars today during our lunch hour 12:00am-1:00pm -- which means people only had to wait in our drive-thru for a minute (give or take), when our goal is less than 2 minutes, once their order was taken. No incorrect orders were recieved - everyone was greeted by me with a "Hello, how are you today?", given their total, asked for condiments, if they said thank you - told "It's my pleasure, you (ladies, guys, etc) have a great day." If they said you too, I said thank you. Etc. Every one recieved great customer service from the order speaker to the window - and one thing I never forget to do - ALL dogs got a treat!

I'm very proud of us! Like my boss said... we were running like a well-oiled machine.


Sure glad tomorrow is my day off though.

In the apparent absence of the bartender......

One virgin slushee....

DONE!

David, stale is the ONLY way to eat a peep! (If I could keep 'em long enough to get them stale)

You could use them as doorstops for the bar, but I think Mario and Lady would make them edible doorstops in a heartbeat.

You're right, LH. Especially Mario!

Kay, I also work in the service field.. in my case it's membership services and mostly by phone, email, letters and in some cases when I go to a "show" and meet in person. One thing my Mom always said was "answer the phone with a smile on your face, it will show in your voice". The same goes at a window, a letter, email or in person. You my friend are doing quite well That's a secret that isn't such a secret here at Thursdays. We try to always have a smile on our faces... even when it's hard. I'll have one of everything and then try to dream sweet dreams. ahhhhh ~ a warm furry at my feet and on my lap. What could be better

[gini]

Who said you guys could open up my case of peeps? Hurummpffff........
David, DOOR STOPS?

Just you wait until Mario learns how to fling those - you are going to be very sorry.

I think the bartender is having to work for a living right now - what a concept!

Virgin slushies all around.................Kay - great job!!
