The Tortilla Chip Theory

My friend, Lesley, had a rough week and was in dire need of some girl time. She was feeling pretty low about a certain fella so I, full of sage advice, took her to Chili's for happy hour and my Tortilla Chip Theory.

Basically, my theory is that men are like tortilla chips. Sure, that one tortilla is nice. In fact, you may quite fancy it. It's very tempting with its firm, nice shape. And it's very pleasing to the eyes. That one tortilla smells incredible, tastes amazing and before long, you and the tortilla are spicing things up with condiments.

You think that tortilla could be the one. You spend all of your time with it. You express your love and devotion. But time passes and, eventually, you'll notice the tortilla beginning to get a little stale and moldy. Then one day you'll find it camped out in your couch cushions, surrounded by crumbs. Your tortilla will no longer be the tasty snack you once desired and craved. You'll finally see it for what it is... a greasy chip laying on your sofa! And the only thing you'll feel then? Fat!

My point is, there are so many other delicious chips in the basket yet to be tasted. Don't waste your time or tears on one chip (besides, it'll get soggy), choose another chip! The world is a Chili's basket full of tortilla chips!

My other advice to Lesley? 2-for-1 Margaritas, baby!


Yeah, she was a quick study.

Oh, what a wise woman you are! I would only add, no matter what you dip them in, they'll always be a tortilla chip.

Only you two would look so cute double-downing 'ritas! Those frozen ones look delish!
