Big words

Bruce can probably tell this story better than I can, because he's the one that actually heard the end of it... I stopped listening to the other people after "blank stare".

We stopped by a Bruchi's for lunch this weekend. It seems Bruchi's has added a few items to their menu, including a "BruCheese Burger". Bruce decided to try one. Brave Bruce!

While the young woman was making his sandwich, he asked her if they used Bleu cheese on the BruCheese burger. She looked puzzled, and asked "why would we do that?"
Bruce says "I was just wondering how many puns they decided to layer on."
"I.. What? Pun?"
So I (helpfully, I thought) clarified..."The play on words, Bruchi's and BruCheese. It's a pun."
Young woman gives me a totally blank stare. Seriously---slack jaw, dead eyes, a good 2 seconds. I think I just broke her brain. So I shake my head and wander off to find a table. Bruce remains long enough to hear the young man next to her lean over and say "Just smile and finish the sandwich."
To which the young woman replies "I don't understand why people have to use all these stupid big words."
