A woman at work is always on some kind of diet and she's talked to me a few times about stuff. Today, she mentioned that she was going to start steaming things because she heard it was a healthier way to cook and did I agree?
The Stallone thread from a couple of days ago pops in to my head and I say, "You should get a Cleaveland Steamer."
Everyone's heard of this, right? So I figure she'll say "That's gross," then I'll laugh, and that'll be it. But no. She cocks her head to one side and says, "A Cleaveland Steamer? What's that?"
"You've never heard of a Cleaveland Steamer?"
"No"
"You know Sylvester Stallone, right?"
"Yeah"
"He loves 'em"
"Ohhhhh"
"I've heard you have to get a good one though or it's not worth it."
"Are they expensive?"
"I don't know. I've never had one. Some people love 'em though."
"Hmmm, maybe I'll go see how much they are."
"Make sure you get a good one though. Just say, 'Please give me your best Cleaveland Steamer.'"
"Ok, I'll have a look this afternoon. Thanks!"
"No worries."
I'm a little worried what she's going to say next time, or if she's going to think I'm a depraved s.o.b. It'll be worth it though.
So next time someone asks you for diet advice, you know what to do.
