Most tours in the desert begin with a safety briefing and when our guide ended his with the question ” now you all know what # to call if there is an emergency?”, and the guy dancing in this picture answered “Pizza Hut?” he became my new best friend. He claimed his mother – whose name was Karen – was the inspiration for the name we now use to refer to problematic fit inclined women. It was his contention that people from across the country stopped in Texas ( where she lives), had some sort of run in with her and thus the referral was birthed. He claims that while growing up, he thought every mother’s mantra in stores was “I want to see the manager.” He was the only liberal in his family ( claimed the rest of them were sick of being told what to do by elites ) so I asked him how he did holidays – his response without missing a beat- “with clenched teeth”.
