I can't judge stuff like that
We were all about 24 years old.
Moe, Larry and I were on our way to Chi Chi's. Moe and Larry, brothers, were sitting in the front seat as we drove.
When we turned into Chi Chi's Moe turned to Larry, "Larry. Go in there and see how long the wait is going to be."
Larry replied, "Moe, you know I can't judge shit like that."
Moe's voice took a turn as if he were explaining something to a six-year old. "When you go in there, there's going to be a girl standing behind a podium. All you have to do is ask her how long the wait is going to be ... and she'll tell you. Then all you have to do is judge whether or not she's lying to you." Moe stuck a finger in the corner of his mouth as if he were in thought. "Hmmmm ... I wonder if she's lying."
I was in tears. Thinking about it yesterday had me laughing and I'm laughing as I type. I hope it tells well.
I don't know if we ate at Chi Chi's or not that night.

I miss Chi Chi's. The last one around here closed about 15-20 years ago. I don't think the person at the podium lies. I think they're just like Larry. They can't judge that shit, either. Funny story.

Rob: I haven't been to a Chi Chi's in five or six years. I don't know that we have any left.
This link suggests they're all gone.

We had them here, but people got sick from eating their "food" and that was it. Of course there is more to the story....
