The Biggest Fail

So there I was, perhaps the coolest dad in the world, ever, shopping in Pick and Pay with my almost 14 year daughter (and I have warned you all, I have a big shotgun). Not only was I the world's coolest dad, but this was the world's coolest Pick and Pay, because instead of Christmas muzak, rad tunes were pounding  from the speakers (OK, perhaps they were not actually pounding).

A familiar tune came on. "Ah" said Mirella, "Eminem".

"That's not Eminem" I spluttered at full volume, as Love the Way You Lie got to the chorus, "it's B.O.B."

Oh Jeez. Suddenly I had lost all my cool points in just 5 foolish words (if I count B.O.B as one word).

We covered the remaining aisles, when Mirella, who hadn't stopped laughing, realised she needed Coke (with a capital C, registered trademark etc. Not any other kind).

We couldn't find cold Coke on the shelves anywhere. "Yes" she said. "They only have cold Coke at the koisk."

That wasn't a typo. She had just called it "The Koisk".Then she spelled it out. "K.I. O.S. K". Which doesn't frickin' spell "koisk", does it!

I laughed so much I wept.

"What did you just say? The Koisk?"

"You thought Eminem was B.O.B!"

"Koisk?? Koisk! That's the biggest fail ever!"

"But you thoug..."

"KOISK!"

Yep. That's just got to be the biggest fail. Ever.
