Invalid query

Predictions for our time together based on the questions you ask me:

1. "What's good today?"
We're about to have an awkward conversation about the difference between a latte and a cappuccino.

2. "How are these?"
You want me to lie.

3. "Where's your bathroom?"
Ten minutes from now I will knock on the door & interrupt your second line of coke.

4. "Do you have wi-fi?"
Your home office is occupied since the kids are out of school today.

5. "What's playing [on the radio] right now?"
You want my body.

6. "Is the owner in today?"
A group of customers is about to walk in the door.

7. "Do you know any good places to eat around here?"
I'm going to discover that I do not, in fact, know the best place to get a slice in NYC.

8. "Can you make a kid's hot chocolate?"
My calls to keep hands out of the retail beans will go unheeded.

9. "Don't you have just regular ol' coffee?"
The bus from the retirement home broke down out front.

10. "What's yer biggest size frappuccino?"
My ability to suppress a gag reflex is about to be tested.
