Why Abominable Snowmen Don’t Like Fast Food - John Weagly

You stand in line behind a Yeti.

You stand in line behind a Yeti.  You’re at Arby’s.  The Yeti’s white fur is matted and he has a unique odor you know you could identify if you knew more about the Himalayas.  You’re waiting.  The guy behind you is waiting.  The girl behind the counter is waiting.  The Yeti can’t seem to make up his mind.

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph!” the guy behind you says.  “Just order a roast beef sandwich!”

The Yeti turns to look at the guy, shakes his head sadly and leaves without ordering.

Now it’s your turn and you don’t know what you want.

I like this. The way it is told, the pacing etc, reminds me of something, not sure what, but I sure like it.
