Tots

So a few of us from work are heading to a vendor's place yesterday. But first we go to lunch with Justin, the reseller.

For a change of pace I get tater tots instead of fries with lunch. And the jokes start going around.
"Can I have some of your tots?"
"Nooooo! GOSH!"
etc.

Someone says that I should pack away some tots for the presentation at the vendor.
Justin likes this idea, "I've got 5 bucks if you can eat them during the presentation with a straight face."
I know there is no way I can keep a straight face doing it, and I say so. "But that's not to say, I'm not going to try."

We get to the vendor, and are conducted to a large conference room. We're a little bit into the presentation when they start passing around a basket of cookies. I pass the basket and take the opportunity to pull the tots from my pocket.

So Justin can see, I swivel, and push back a foot or so. I eat the four tots, and manage only to smile slightly. Pete is stifling a laugh, and Joe has to turn completely away from me. I can see his shoulders shaking as he giggles. As I finish the tots, it's pretty apparent that the guys are cracking up, and the presenter stops.

"Something pretty funny must be going on."
I turn to Justin, "That's five, baby. FIVE!"
He gets up from his chair, walks over, and lays the $5 bill on the table in front of me.
Amidst the laughter, I can hear him explaining the bet to the vendor.

Showing that he's a good sport, Larry, the sales guy, when asked if he would like a cookie answered, "No, but if there's any tater tots left..."
