The Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back

Just a quick one:

ACWGF and I were in a Subway restaurant because she needed something to eat. Reasonable enough. While ACWGF is paying for her meal, I grabbed her cup to get soda for her.

“What do you want to drink?”

“Orange.”

So I started filling the cup with the orange drink, while simultaneously reaching for the lid. ACWGF was going for the straw while I was sealing the lid around the edges of the cup. She unsheathed the straw from the sanitary plastic wrapper that it was being kept in and then jammed the straw down toward the lid. She missed the little “+” shaped perforated opening, and the lid showed a little stress fracture of milky-white opaqueness. So she jammed the straw toward the lid again, this time more violently, and missed again. The stress fracture grew a little longer, and the + was still not penetrated. So she stabbed again, and then again. More ferocious with each plunge. Two more misses. The lid was in bad shape.

I took the straw from her hand, and while I gently slid the straw into its home in the cup I turned to her and said, “It’s a good thing I’m the one with the penis.”
