George & Ringo were walking to a Red Robin. They were walking because none of them had a car. They stopped at a diner. "Lets eat here." George said. Ringo nodded and opened the door for him. "after you" He said. George stepped in the restaurant and Ringo followed after. George went up to the lady working there. "Two please" He said to her. "Okay." She said."Follow me." She walked over a two-person table nearby. "I'll be back when your ready." She said. George flipped through the menu. "I can't believe this is our first date!" Ringo exclaimed. "Yeah I know. Weird right?" George said. The waitress came back to them. "Hello, lets start out with some drinks, shall we?" She sounded friendly. "Just water." George said. "Same here." Ringo told her. "Okay." She said and walked away. They knew it was going to be a great night! The waitress came back 5 minutes later and set the drinks down on the counter. "I'll give you some more time with your menus." She walked to another table. Ringo opened the menu. "I don't know what to get." He frowned. George reached for his drink, but apparently didn't open his hand wide enough. The drink spilled over, and the water trickled towards Ringo. "Aah!" He screamed. "I'm so sorry!" George apologized. He picked up the drink and was glad to see it wasn't broken. They used all of their napkins to clean up the mess. The waitress soon came back. "Ready to order?" She asked. Ringo nodded, "I'll take the Ocho Burger." He didn't know what it was, but it looked good in the picture. George smiled, "Two hamburgers with a side of supersized fries. Plus, I'd like a refill?" He handed her the empty glass of water. She smiled, took the glass, and walked away. They awkwardly had small chit chat every now and then, while Ringo had most of his pants damp with water. The waitress came back to their table around 15 minutes later. She set down the burger in front of Ringo. "Thank You" He said. George received doubled order. "Thanks!" He said, already reaching for a fry. The waitress was already rushing to a busy booth. Ringo took a bite of his burger. "Ugh, this tastes like salty water!" He spit it out. "Is there still a menu somewhere? Ugh, i have to wait till she comes back!"
"Nah, don't get in a fuss about it." George assured, reaching for the salt. He kept eye contact while twisting the salt grinder. He stopped when the waitress came back with his water. He nodded and looked back at the salt. "Gosh, NOTHING is coming out of this-" Suddenly the cap fell directly onto his plate of fries and all of the salt swiftly fell out. It was all over his meal. "Oh no!" Ringo replied to the current situation. "You spilled water and salt, and I ordered a hideous water sandwich!" He spoke. The waitress came back once again, "Oh no, is everything alright?" Ringo looked hot headed. "What's in this?" He asked in an angry tone. She was a little spooked, but answered, "Well, the bun has sesame seeds, the inside has kail, octopus, a small amount of anchovies, some pepper, pickles-" She paused to understand his little cries. "O-Octopus?" He shivered. The waitress nodded, slightly concerned. She walked off again. "Let's pay the bill, leave this place, and just go home!" Ringo nodded and left the table to go wait in the waiting room. 5 minutes later, George arrived. "Alright, let's go."
