Things I overheard the old lady next to me say

I was seated next to an elderly couple from somewhere in the Mountain time zone. They were seated right before I arrived, as they were still looking at the menu. The old woman was a hoot... here are some of the highlights:
  • While looking at a bowl of tortilla chips being delivered to the next table: "Oooo... that looks good, honey... look at that!"
  • Upon realizing there was now way to just get a burrito a la carte she asked the waitress for a beef burrito deep fried. Waitress: "So you want the chimichanga right here?" Her: "No no... I want this deep fried burrito."
  • Looking at her husband: "What did you get honey? I got this deep friend burrito. This one right here." She points at the Chimichanga.
  • Upon cutting into her chimichanga. "Oh honey, look at this! It's hamburger! When they said beef burrito I thought she meant roast beef... hmm... I've never had hamburger in a burrito... I better ask to make sure they did it right."
  • Upon eating the first bite of said chimichanga. "Oh my... this is delicious! But you know... there's no way to ruin hamburger..."
  • Once she realized the dish was $10. "Ten Dollars! My my my... things are so expensive in Vegas!"

This was the highlight of my trip.
