Default Scary thing in market today....

Ok, so it's not BBQing, but had to relate this. I'm in the market, picking
up some sirloin to grill up and do some quick steak sandwiches with, and
there's this guy there looking in the section where the briskets are. He's
looking at everything. I'm one to strike up a conversation with just about
anyone so I say "can't find anything you like?" He says, "can't find what I
might wanna use to do kabobs"

Well, he's looking in the section with brisket, round roasts, beef ribs,
etc.... I tell him I usually try to find good thick top sirloin and use
that. I see a pack, hand it to him, he looks at it and says Thanks! Then
says.... "ya know, the veggies and meat usually get done at different times,
so I'm gonna boil the meat first" I about croaked right there, but, held my
breakfast down...

He stands there a bit and I say, "ya know, since that happens, why don't you
just put all the veggies on skewers by themselves and the meat by itself,
and start the meat first... or if the veggies are done first, put 'em in
some foil to keep warm til the veggies are done." Ok, ok, maybe not true
shish-kabob, but if he's worried about the meat not getting done, and he's
going to boil it instead??

Unreal what some people come up with I guess... *shrug*
