Order in a Bill Cosby voice and get 10% off
« on: May 10, 2013, 12:42:43 PM »
That was what the sign said at a local BBQ joint. My co-workers and I decided to have a lunch meeting and that sign was there. I brushed off my best Cosby impression. Practiced it a bit while waiting in line to order by repeating some phrases ending in Jello or Camille. Then talked with my co-workers about if they too were going to take advantage of the 10% off.

Oddly enough amongst five individuals I was the only one who ordered with a Cosby voice. I know the lunch itself was not very mustachian but the combination of a price reduction by having a bit of fun was so hard for me to pass up. I know it's not much of a topic, just thought it was an odd thing.

Excellent work!  I like doing silly things sometimes, especially when I'm with my more straightlaced work friends.

I make these kinds of ridiculous demands on Craigslist all the time. Price is firm unless...

You tell me a knock knock joke that makes me smile;
You wear severely clashing colours when picking up; etc.

That is hilarious.  I don't think I could do a very good Cosby voice, but I'd try!  My husband does a great one though.  Maybe I'd make him order for both of us!  :P

I love this.  I totally would have ordered using the Cosby voice!
