A solipsistic comedian is the most successful comedian.
At the drive-thru speaker, I always try to condense my food order into basic components: “A number 3, with no onions, large, with a diet coke.” I realized that I’m trying to predict the order taker’s button pushes as I order–trying to give them pieces of information as they need it. I think this will make things easier. The speaker quality isn’t very good and the order taker is not a mind reader. Consequently, I usually have to repeat part of the order anyway.
“A number 3” – It seems like the first thing they would need to enter is the type of sandwich, described by the value meal number. The sandwich is the reason they are in business. #3 — A concise description of a sandwich.
