The Power Of A Single Word
Quick Note: The Photoshop Jeff post has been updated with another addition. It's PG-13, so look for it down at the bottom of the post. Images are still welcome, especially those that friendly for all audiences. (*hint!*)
===================================


She started out by taking our drink orders. My wife asked for water with no lemon. Friend #1 asked for water with lemon. I asked for water.

"Indifferent." I replied, shrugging.
I may as well have been speaking Flemish. Her smile froze in place and her face suddenly became a mask of terror. "What?"
"Indifferent." I repeated, saying each syllable a little slower than the first time.

"I don't care. Er... about the lemon, I mean. I don't care if I have lemon or not in my water."
Fear instantly gave way to helplessness. "Then... what do I write down?"
I thought she was going to cry. I decided to let her off the hook. "No lemon, please."

I swear I didn't consciously decide to torture a waitress that day. It just kinda worked out that way.
