BUDDHA: Great Taco Bell Shenanigans

Subject: A Great Taco Bell Shen for TB mployeez

This shen from a book entitled PRANKS (Re/Search #11) (p. 25)  
  Taco Bell has signs saying "Enchilada" or "Tostada," etc with phonetic
pronunciation underneath so people can pronounce the Spanish.  I made up a
sign for a fake Taco Bell dish called a "Bean Qhrqwhqhr", and put accent
lines underneath, but you still couldn't pronounce it.  The sign said,
"Special Introductory Offer: Buy one for 39 cents - get the second one
free!"
  People would come up, read the sign and go, " Say! This sounds like a
good deal - a Bean Ques-queh-whoh."  I'd say "Qhr-qwh-qhr."  They'd try,
but nobody could pronounce it like me.  The ones who bought these things
would be sitting there eating them with squinty little pained expressions,
like it was REALLY DIFFICULT for them to finish (but because it they'd
gotten such a GOOD DEAL, they wouldn't quit).
  We wrote up a desciption that sounded really tempting: "Tasty tortillas,
garden fresh lettuce," etc. On a tortilla were little piles of iceberg
lettuce, each with a scoop of beans on top, and on each scoop was a slice
of black olive.  It looked like two breasts, or two little cartoon eyes. 
What made it special was: it had an extra large amount of salt.  I'd ask,
"How was it?" and people would say, "Well... it's kind of DRY," and would
almost always add, "I need a large Coke now!" because they'd eaten all
this salt, lettuce, and dried-out tortillas...


A few comments:
The prankster in this story had a great window of opportunity, because the
manager had a crush on him.
I believe this prank was pulled before the "unlimited refill" was a
feature at Taco Bell restaurants, thus the customer requests for fluids...

If you attempt this, Lemme know how it works out. (I could never pull this
off with a straight face.  ;-)
