Everything just screams crime about this — both the order itself as well as the fact that they found a way to screw it up anyways, not to mention the fact he had a dude drive an empty box across town for a stupid Internet joke.

A man sits down at a cafe and asks the waiter for a coffe without cream and a croissant. He sits and waits, and a little while later the waiter comes back to the table with only the croissant and says “I’m so sorry sir, we’re all out of cream. Can I get you a coffee without milk instead?”
The last time I heard this joke, mistakes in people’s delivery orders were still being blamed on noisy phone lines.
Wow. An old memory just surfaced when I read that… I had a crossed line conversation with someone as a kid. I can’t quite place an age. All four of us got fun out of it but you really had to shout for the crossed line person to hear it at all, but they did. No recollection of the content, only that we all realised and it was funny.
Analogue technology had some foibles.
I feel very, very old remembering that.
