Thunder from Down Under

Yeah, while the Outback Steakhouse

is a bit on the cheesy side, it’s a restaurant that to which we can

take my nephews (ages 2 and almost-4). Besides, the “Bloomin’ Onion” is

pretty good, as is the “Chocolate Thunder from Down Under”, despite the

fact that it sounds like a colloqiual term for “explosive diarrhea”…

The above comic from User Friendly may seem silly, but similar incidents have happened in

real life. I know of at least two people who ordered a “grande latte”

in Italy only to be surprised when they got a large glass of milk.

    *Not that I've been but the thing is advertised all over the Strip.
