Lunch Conversations

I work with a bunch of crazies.

We go out to lunch as a group (normally between 6-10 people) on Fridays, and this is the stuff we talked about on our last outing to a Mexican restaurant:

1) chips "mating" - Yes, the tortilla chips that they hand out as an appetizer.  Two chips were stuck together, and we had a good 10-minute discussion on how chips came about, and why they didn't mate in front of us.

2) "double dog dare" - another 10-minute discussion on the expression, what it means, and where it came from.  In the end, it was pretty hard to convince the others of the dire consequences if you backed down from one of these.. the others consisting of one Canadian, one guy who grew up "all over the United States" (and considers Arizona part of the South) and a couple of Romanians.

3) how the smoke from fajitas is similar to war - this "discussion" took about 10-minutes too, but mostly because we couldn't understand what our co-worker was saying (he has a thick Romanian accent).  First, we thought he said "work", which didn't make any sense.  Then, we thought he said "world," but that was too vague and also didn't make sense.  Finally, he made the universal machine-gun motion to signal "war."  Ohh! War!  Wait, that still doesn't make sense.  How are fajitas like war?

Just your typical lunch conversations..
"So what are you doing over the weekend?"
"The smoke from the fajitas are like war!"
"Uh.. that's cool. I'm probably going to do some shopping.."
