Water

Never thank anybody for anything, except a drink of water in the desert - and then make it brief.

I had lunch with my friend Jessica the other day.  Our wait person was very nice, but...  well, read for yourself:

Wait person:  May I get you something to drink?

Jessica:  Do you have iced tea?

WP:  No, we don't have any tea.

Jessica:  Oh, okay.  Do you have Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi?

WP:  Diet Coke.

Jessica:  Okay.  I'll have that.

WP:  Well, our soda machine isn't working.

Jessica: Oh.  Well, what do you have?

WP:  We have water.

Jessica:  (pause)  Okay.  I'd like some water.

WP:  Okay.  (to me)  What would you like to drink?

Me:  Ummm....  I'll have water.
