Lover and Them

the heavy voiced female manager).....look stogolle: we have twelve hours to get the order complete.
so we are gonna share the responsiblity of the chore.
one of us has got to go to the store and get these items, in order to reach our goal. one of us has to stay here and start fixing the things from the things we already have.
let's flip this coin to see who does what: you call it.
the unsure other worker)....all right but I'm hungry, I haven't eatin in two days
the manager)...why is that?
Worker)...well I had one of those stigma scans, and I can't eat until 6:00 oclock tonight, and I'm one hungry camper!
Manager)...i bet: what did the doctor say?
Worker)....he said he'll call tonight with the results, I can't eat until I know I won't have to go in tomorrow, I'll know by six o'clock.
Manager)...hope it's good news, now call the coin.
Worker)....heads! ( the worker flips the coin)
manager) it's tails see. I'll be back in about one hour.
start the pasta, the potatoes, and prep the beef and fish.
I'll be right back.
