ONLY IN STARBUCKS
While I’m on the subject of Starbucks, Andy and I witnessed this little episode up while he drank his mocha frappuccino and I sipped my iced venti unsweetened iced coffee (loaded with seven sweet ‘n lows, cinnamon, and half-and-half).
A rather flustered Elton John-looking character came into the store and said to the Barista, “Can I have a tall straw, please?” The Barista handed him the straw, but Elton sort of looked at her strangely. He said to her, “No, I wanted the tall straw not the small one.” She replied, “Sir, in Starbucks that IS the tall straw. You should have asked for the venti straw.”

The new Elton John or the retro-Elton John? Because one is a lot freakier looking than the other. As I read the post, I envisioned the retro-Elton John, very flamboyant drag queen ;-)
