May I borrow a fry?
Have you ever had someone ask you to borrow something they clearly had no intention of returing to you? Such as a tissue, a paper towel, or a french fry? I have, and one such occasion is worth telling here.
I was with my youth group, and we went out to dinner at Chilie's. I had ordered a cheeseburger, or something (something that came with fries). And the girl who was sitting across the table from me, asked if she could "borrow" one of them. I assumed she just wanted to eat one of my french fries. I had no problem sharing a fry or two with her, so I told her she could. What followed is not what I expected. She picked up the glass bottle of Heinz 57 Ketchup, and used my "loaned" fry to help the ketchup start pouring out, in a sort of scooping motion. After she had poured enough kethcup out. She thanked me, and placed the borrowed fry back on my plate.
She truely had borrowed my french fry.
