So I’m at the Kernels popcorn franchise in the Dundas Mall, trying to decide between Jalapeno Jack popcorn or Wild Buffalo Wings popcorn, when the lady in front of me finishes ordering. I step up to the counter and pronounce, “I’ll have a medium bag of Halapeno Jack, please.” And as the man behind the counter begins to fill the bag, I look at the name of the popcorn again, and add, “You know, it really should be called Halapeno Hack.”
“You,” said the man behind the counter, “are the first person ever to notice that.”
I was going to say something about my name being javril, but then my arm got itchy. That’s not a veiled reference to anything obscure. My arm just got itchy.
