"Its scientific if you admit theres a basis for error and bias," Penny countered cheerfully.
The waitress seemed much happier, and Penny wondered if she'd been sneaking chips in the back room. If she worked here then she'd have been the size of a house ; or worse - be so sick of frying that she couldn't eat fish n chips again.
"Do you deep fry ice cream?"
The waitress paused and began flipping through her notebook before giving Penny a Look. "Don't be daft 'luv. We deep fry mars bars, pizzas and three different types of potatoes and fish. How about a deep fried twix? That I can do."
Shaking her head and thanking the waitress, Penny turned her attention back to Orsino. "Now I'm going to be thinking about deep fried ice cream all week. Its a good thing Ol doesn't have a fryer." Not that she'd ever actually use it. Hot oil plus herself was a pretty simple equation and it wasn't a good one.
"About these variables. Should they be scheduled in advance, or is a spur of the moment thing more acceptable?" Giving him her most innocent look she added "Just for clarification."
