My adventure ordering Indian food

April 22, 2003 by Jane

“Chicken korma and an order of rice please.”

“No nan? No samosas?”

“No thanks.”

“You have pretty hair.”

“Thanks.”

(as he writes on order slip) “What’s your name?”

“Jane.”

“Very nice name.”

“Thanks…”

“What’s your number?”

“What?”

“Your number.”

“My… phone number? No. Heh heh.”

“Are you single?”

“Am I single? No.”

“Why not?”

“Uh, because I have a boyfriend?”

I paid and waited for my order and swiftly exited PAKWAN RESTAURANT. Cashier dude kept staring at me as I waited to pick it up.

Walked home and made nice cucumber yogurt salad to go with Indian takeout.

Soon discovered that my chicken korma was riddled with BONES of varying sizes. One was much like a needle, in fact.

Oh Bombay India Restaurant, WHY did I ever doubt you??? It won’t happen again. I promise.

      I imagine they tasted like dry sponges anyway.

    That kinda gave me the chills, but at least he had good taste. 😉

      Aw thanks. If he had done anything creepy (creepier?), like follow me, I would have just poked his eyes out or something, or punched him in the throat.

      Having a black belt boyfriend comes in handy, you see.

    when ordering take out always say you’re single and your name is amy or you’ll get the chicken with sharp bones in it. if you have to give your number give this one: 415-620-5412 or 415-356-9833 call them and you’ll understand. if you do punch a throat or poke eyes make sure to kick them when they’re down just for good measure.

    your boyfriend sure is lucky to be dating a hot mama like you.
