Damn, CajunMojo!

I was at Chuy's last week and my g/f was saying she'd love a margarite but we were taking the food "to go."  I told her she ought to get a margarita to go.  The girl behind the counter looked at me like I was smoking crack.

I said, "What, you don't do that?"

She said, "It's an open container."

I said, "Damn, back home we have drive-thru daquiri stands.  Just tape the lid shut and it's not an open container anymore."

Glad to hear you made it through ok, and thanks for the laughs!
