BO incident

We went out to eat at Fuddruckers tonight because Jen was craving a hamburger, we haven’t been in a couple of years so I figured what a treat. If your not familiar with Fuddruckers when you first walk in you put your food order in and then it’s every man for themselves in the dining room, you just sit wherever you want. When your food is ready they just call your name and you go back up and pick it up.

We got there ahead of the dinner crowd so the place was relatively empty so we picked a table off in the corner. As we were waiting for our food a family came and sat behind us in one of the booths. Not a couple of seconds after they sat down Jen said, “We have to move, they have bad BO.”

Now I put this to, how does one go about making this look graceful? The restaurant is empty, they have just sat down behind us, and we are about to stand up and move. There is no way to make this look good, it is going to be so obvious we are moving because of them.

So in a loud-ish voice (the idea being they are supposed to hear me) I say, “Oh, Alex, you want to go sit over there in that booth, OK, what a great idea!”. Alex is just staring at me like I’ve just lost my mind. Luckily he didn’t blow the whole thing and we made a clean escape from the BO family.
