At the DQ

Of course, your anecdote was enjoyable, but ... I'm still focused on
that word ... as you may recall ... a mutual favorite ;-)

Milk shakes rule!

As I recall, DQ Lemon Slushies (or whatever they call 'em)
are pretty good, too.

That shaved ice pours nicely into a water bottle.
After a short while it becomes a refreshing,
lemon-flavoured bottle of ice melt.

I think they should also proffer grapefruit slushies.

cheers,
Tom

After riding about 40 miles, I proposed that we stop in at a Dairy Queen
for some refreshments. We're wearing biking shoes, clicking against the
tile floor. Black lycra shorts, matching jerseys advertising something we
did together that has a bike in the design. I'm wearing my helmet into the
shop, festooned with reflective stickers. My husband's coif, with its odd
ridges and tuffs, epitomizes the phrase, "Helmet Hair". The young man
behind the counter, with his name on his trainee badge, stared at us sort
of incomprehendingly, and then you can tell he figured it out. He mutters,
"Huh. Bikers." Ya think?

You should have said "Here's your sign" and handed him a pretend one.
