The Last Straw

Just a quick note.

It is not possible, under any circumstances, to gracefully recover from a failed attempt to sip from a straw in a public space. Especially when the liquid you were attempting to sip squirts outward from your mouth and onto your new shirt because you didn’t make the proper watertight seal on the straw with your lips. It is even worse when you also have a coughing/sneezing fit due to the carbonated beverage finding its way into your nasal passages and attacking your sinuses with its deadly Bubble Explosions Of Tickling Pain. And as if all of that wasn’t bad enough, it’s even… uh, worse-er when you fail to remember to move the cup away from your face before sneezing/coughing.

Trust me on this one; a straw in your forehead HURTS.

  1. Nothing’s worse…except when you’re on a date, and you casually lean across the table to take your lady’s hand, and the straw sticks up your nose. I, um, knew a guy who’s brother’s friend that happened to…

  2. first off, there is no way to look masculine while drinking out of a straw, but there are many drinks you have to have a straw to drink from…this is reason enough to hate straws.

    secondly, the worst is to actually put the straw up your nose while talking to somne one. this sucks more than a vacuum cleaner.
