Overheard At Work: Garlic Fries

I work in a typical office, surrounded by many other workers in cubicles. Although I'm grateful to have a job I like, sometimes the vocal din from the surrounding coworkers is a bit overwhelming. Not to mention odd. Thank the gods old and new for headphones and Pandora.

The following is a 100% true actual conversation I Overheard At Work:

Man (to two women in hallway): "I'm inherently distrustful of garlic fries."

I'm right with you there, brother! Oh sure, it's a novelty when those kinds of fries first move into the menu, what with their enticing aroma and unconventional flavor. But once they get a foothold, it's not long before they start bringing in other exotic foods. You know, things like wraps instead of sandwiches. Foods lace with curry, basil and… and ginger. Then it's only a matter of time until God-fearing Americans are forced to find a less… ethnic place to eat.
