I join she who must be obeyed for dinner at MK, prior to one of our domestic shopping outings where the purchased items usually comprise water, fabric softener and assorted toiletries. Just my favourite sort of shopping.
Anyway, we near the end of our meal and it is time to call for the bill. As is the case with most of our regular eating haunts, we have an MK discount card. It is my job to carry the cards for some of the restaurants, but she who must be obeyed is in charge of the MK piece of plastic.
Can I have the discount card, I enquire?
Oh, I have left it in my car.
Well, you could just pop out to the car park and get it (said in jest).
I could. But let’s see, if we use the card we will get about 20 baht discount. And it would take me 10 minutes to go out to the car and get it. So, you can save twenty baht, but would have to be without me for ten minutes. Which do you prefer?
Clever, damn clever. Of course I just paid the bill.
