Eat Me!

I had the lengthiest and most boring wait in court this morning. The Judge is known for taking his own sweet time and his looooonnnnggggg conferences in chambers. But no one complains because he's such a nice Judge, and such creatures are certainly rare.

So there I was, patiently waiting for my turn in chambers, when the lawyer next to me strikes up a conversation. Let's call her Jo. After a few minutes of the standard introductions(Oh, so where're you at? Oh, that firm's a good one! Do you know Mr.So-and-So? I chambered with him bla bla bla), Jo & I warmed up and began talking about everything under the sun.

Now, picture two 20-something ladies dressed in lawyer garb, sitting in a courtroom with other lawyers and a policeguard on duty nearby. Picture these 2 ladies having THIS conversation:-

Me: I'm hungry la. Didn't have my breakfast. I really didn't expect this to take so long!

Jo: Me too!! I could soooo go for a nice steaming plate of mee sup right now.

Me: Mee Sup for breakfast? Wahhh... That's a new one.

Jo: Ohh I'm a BIG noodle + soup fan! I can have it any time of day. ANY type of noodle soup, really. Even the instant ones. Everytime I see Mawi slurping that Mamee dish on TV, I get hungry.

Sorry guys... I promised myself my blog would be Mawi-Free but this was unavoidable.... Blame Jo! Blame Jo!

Me: Yaaa... TV ads can be the worse diet-breakers! I get chocolate cravings after every Cadbury ad!

Jo: No matter how kenyang I am, a KFC ad will get me all hungry again.

Me: Speaking of chicken, I've always had a pet peeve on adverts which show a Chicken cartoon character promoting a chicken food product.

Jo: Huh?

Me: Yer la... like some of those old snack food ads. They have this chicken, dressed in an apron, prancing around the TV screen asking us to buy the Chicken crispies or something like that.

Jo: Oo yeahhh! The one where the big hen goes around eating the crispies and clucks and at the end it goes MMMMmmMMmm Sedapppp!, kan?

Me:: Ya! Ya! That's the one. I mean, the Chicken is promoting a CHICKEN food product. She's asking us to EAT her own kind! That just doesn't make sense.

Jo: A ah kan! And she's also EATING her own kind!!! Bizarre...

Me: Tu laa! I mean, it's like having a cartoon fish swimming around asking us to eat Fishsticks... Or a chubby cow singing about how yummy beef burgers are... Too TOO weird.

Jo:You're right. A chicken promoting the massacres of other chickens.... Very weird. They should have some other cartoon character promoting the chicken snack.

Me: True!

Jo: Like a big fluffy dog or something.

Me: ... do dogs eat chicken? How come they can live peacefully together on the farm? I don't think dogs eat chicken.

Jo: ..hmm... maybe you're right. Okayla, a cartoon dog should promote a CAT flavored snack.

Me: A ah.

pause

Me:Eh. Where got cat flavored snack... EEWWWWW!!!!

Jo: A ah!!! Heheheh... Okay okay wrong contoh.

pause

Jo: Eh... Do dogs actually EAT cats?

pause

Me:No lah... I don't think so... DO they?

Thankfully for mankind, the conversation stopped here as it was my turn to see the Judge.
