Chris and I had a date night on Friday and we thought you'd like to hear a few of the things that happend in the ridiculous city of Butte, MT.
We had bought tickets online to go to a movie. We drove an hour there and when we get to the theater we find out that they had cancelled the showing that we had bought tickets for. They let us exchange them for a different movie but it didn't start for an hour. So we walk up to one of the workers and I say, "Are you seating for this show yet?" and show him our tickets. He looks at us with this blank stare and proceeds to say, "Ummmm we don't seat you...You have to seat yourself". So while trying to keep a straight face I ask him if the door is open yet. It was. We made sure to seat ourselves. :)
We had not eaten dinner yet, so after the movie we decided to go through the Wendy's drive through. This is what we ordered:
2 Large Cokes
2 Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers
2 of 5 piece chicken nuggets
We get to the first window to pay and the following dialogue takes place, "
WENDY'S WORKER: "$18.79 please".
CHRIS: "I don't think that is our order"
WENDY'S WORKER: "Did you have 2 Large cokes, 2 jr bacon cheeseburgers and 2 -5 piece nuggets?"
CHRIS: "Yes"
WENDY'S WORKER: "$18.79 then".
SHELLY: "Thats impossible"
WENDY'S WORKER: "Things have gone up a bit"
CHRIS: "We had 2 jr bacon cheeseburgers @ $1 each, 2 - 5 piece nuggets @ $1.29 each, so unless our drinks are over $6 a piece it cannot be $18.79"
WENDYS WORKER: "Thats what it says"
SHELLY: "Can we talk to a manager?"
MANAGER: "Did you have 2 Lg Cokes, 2 jr bacon cheeseburgers and 2- 5 piece nuggets?"
CHRIS: "yes"
MANAGER: "That will be $8.14 please"
SHELLY: "thank you!"
We were really grateful that the manager could add.
We started driving home joking about there being something in the Butte drinking water and how we should have asked for no ice in our drinks. About 10 miles out of Butte we're driving in the left lane and Chris sees lights coming straight at us. He moves into the right lane and sure enough some idiot passes us going north on the southbound side of I-15.
I think the favorite part of the night was the comment "Things have gone up a bit". Chris and I keep saying it and laughing. It was a crazy night but it was lots of fun!

That made me laugh! Sounds like you had a memorable night. I think that makes them fun when everything goes wrong. Its fun to laugh about for a long time.
I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt by the "smart" guy driving the wrong way.
Barry and I have had similar experiences in Butte. The gene pool must not be very deep up there!
Sally and I once planned to spend the night in Butte after a long drive. After two conversations with city residents, we decided to keep driving to Missoula. Must be something in the drinking water.
Loved it Shell ~ We often comment about going to Walmart in Butte ~ it's such a enlightening experience!
How are the Lost Episodes coming along. We need to have a Lost Club!
