sometimes I can be as patient as the day is long

I can be very understanding

I can deal with it

sometimes I can be very impatient

I don't want to deal with it

like when two half assed software guys go on and on about software they really know nothing about

So, last night on my way to the second job I drop by to get a steak and cheese from my favorite steak and cheese place. I got it with lettuce and tomatoes, I also got a ginger ale. Once it came time for me to pay the new lady asks "Just this and the tonic"

to which I replied "Yeah" but I really wanted to point out that my ginger ale is not a tonic.

Tonic is a very regional term for a carbonated beverage and I dislike its use.
