So we recently had the opportunity to eat at a really ritzy restaurant... the type where for the equivalent cost per person, I can eat for a whole month at the food court and still get change. So, my very first conversation with our server for the evening: (thoughts are in parenthesis)
Server: "Would you like to start with some 'Stillor' Sparkling water?"
Me: (hmmm, never had that kind of water before) "Yes, please."
Server: "Which would you like?"
Me: (a bit confused because didn't he just offer me the 'Stillor' brand?) "Um, what do you have?"
Server: (a little smile on his face) " 'Stillor' Sparkling water."
Me: (pause... pause... pause... why is he still just offering one choice... no Perrier, no San Pellagrino... DOH!!! HE MEANS WOULD I LIKE SOME STILL OR SPARKLING WATER!!!" as in plain water or bubbly water! Why didn't he say that in the first place?!?") "Er, sparkling, please" (embarassed... embarassed... embarassed)
