While sitting in a restaurant I heard a customer hassling his waiter. The customer finally said “You know what they say about excuses?” The waiter responded with “They make an X out of Q and C?” IMMD!

I understand that this comes from a similar sounding phrase…but I don’t really see how X, Q, and C work. Are they supposed to stand for alternatives that start with those letters?
This is definitely one of those “funnier in the moment” things. =/
Yyyeaaah… I don’t understand…
Mark… say them… X Q C. Ex que cee. Excuse.
but ex-cue-see and excuse don’t really sound the same enough for it to not sound awkward.
I dont get it.
I guess he was just making fun of the old “Assume makes an Ass of U and Me” adage. It wasn’t really meant to make sense as anything else, I think.
Fail?
I think it’s backward, it makes a “q” sound out of “x” and “c”. Er, maybe?
Hmmm yeah I’m kind of disgusted by people who yell at hardworking customer service employees who are helpless to defend themselves. Maybe if the waiter like, bitchslapped him it woulda been funnier. He should do that next time.
Yeah, what the waiter said doesn’t work on its own as a joke… but what the customer said doesn’t make sense either – they don’t say anything about excuses! Ergo, I found this hilarious.
Uh, there is a saying about excuses, “Excuses are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink.” (Opinion is also used, in place of excuse)
This. It was just an awesome reply. Probably derailed the customer good, which I’m pretty sure is what it was supposed to do.
I’ve never heard excuses used in place of opinion, but that’s just me. Still think what Sir Frederick said is valid, though
Heh. I thought this was pretty funny, actually.
I found it very amusing. fyi it is like “assume” ass/u/me makes an ass out of you and me, in response to the question, “you know what happens when you assume?” therefore the answer is funny in a smart ass way because it doesn’t work like that “you know what happens when you make excuses?” “excuse” ex/cu/se or sounding it out x/q/c ending as “it makes an x out of q and c.” Hilarious and quick witted.
