I love this

My husband has this phrase he uses sometimes -- usually at work -- when someone is on his ass acting like he's not doing something fast enough. It came up at dinner tonight because he was all annoyed with me for waiting for a refill on my soda when he was ready to leave. I was thirsty! If I have to wait a few extra minutes for our dumb stoned waiter to remember to bring me my soda, so be it. When I got my soda, I very deliberately slid my soda over and put it in front of me, grasped my straw between my thumb, index and middle fingers (pinky finger extended into the air) and looked over at him as I sipped my soda. He had a habit if scarfing down his food and starting to slide out of the booth like he was going somewhere while I was still finishing my drink or meal. I broke him of this habit by doing the thing I do with my soda. Or beer. Or whatever. I finish it slowly, carefully, and deliberately, and enjoy every bit of it. He said he told one of his friends the other day that he doesn't rush his wife at dinner because he knows what will happen. The phrase that came up?

"If you don't like this speed, you're definitely not gonna like the next one!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I admit I'm a quick gobbler too. I think it's a hangup from my Uni days when I always had other things needing done :)
