Decisiveness
Jul. 4th, 2005 07:10 pmI'm allowed to get takeaway one night a week, usually if I have to stop at Mowbray for some reason to change buses, which I did tonight.
"I want KFC tonight."
"How about Subway instead? KFC is always disappointing and you know you like Subway."
"But it's just a fancy salad roll."
"And a cookie and drink."
"KFC is a burger in a roll AND popcorn chicken AND potato & gravy AND chips AND a drink. It's more fun."
"But you always feel let down afterwards, but Subway is usually satisfying."
"Hmm. The anticipation of KFC is better than the reality & the reality of Subway is better than the anticipation."
"Exactly."
"OK I'll get Subway."
Get off at Mowbary. Wait at intersection. Note that the direction that leads to KFC is going to change first and it's just over there...
"I'll get Subway next time."
Bah.
