The ass in question was me. I had to run some errands in Dodge, and go to Garden to get some work done on the Cornfield Cadillac. So, there I was......
I pulled into Wendy's for lunch - I'm a drive through guy. There was a small sign board with some specials on it, then starting around the bend was the biggun. I could see the speaker grille in the top center. I was ready to order. No voice welcomed me.
So, I sat for a while. I backed up, hoping to trip some sensor. I hollered "hello" a few times. It was at this time the terms lose and cool could be used together in a sentence referencing moi. So, I honked my horn. I'd about decided to pull around to the window and chew some - yes, that - when a nice woman opened a door and spoke to me.
Sir, that is just a sign board. You have to pull up to the next one to order.
It was at this exact moment I saw the little arrow pointing "around" the corner and the words "Order Ahead." I said to her - "Oh, man, what a moron" meaning, of course, yours truly. I felt all of about a yard tall.
Guess what? I pulled up past the sign board that had been ignoring me and voila! A bigger sign board with a box in front containing a speaker and a color screen listing my fondest wishes as I ordered.
Honestly, I couldn't see through the previous sign board, so the ordering setup was hidden to me. But, I can still read. Oh well.
