phone calls from the annoyingly depressing

“Thank you for calling La Strada, how can i help you?” ~ me

“um, i know this is a strange comment, but your ad…it reminds me of syphilis (spelling?)”

“Excuse me?”

“The ad of the lady licking the plate, everytime i look at it i think abotu syphillis and it makes me sick, i don’t even want to come into your restaurant because i am afraid i will catch it.”

“syphilis?”

“yes”

“well mam’ i am sorry you feel that way but i can assure you that the only way you will catch syphilis from our restaurant is if you sleep with one of the waiters. Thank you good day.”

I swear to god….today.
