At lunch

[firstfrost]

Me: Taco with jalapeno, please?
Waitress: Taco, mm hmm.
mjperson: I'd like a cheddar and tomato sandwich.
Waitress: Oh no, the world is ending! I'm so spooked!

Do you have any idea how a cheddar and tomato sandwich can be a sign of the ending of the world?

[firstfrost.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, the context is:

We go this place a lot, and we always order the same thing - I get a taco, Mike gets a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a half sandwich. But it's a Friday in Lent, so no chicken. Apparently ordering something different from what you've ordered every other time is a sign of the apocalypse. :)

(I like the surreal-ness of the dialog without the context...)

Yeah, it's a lot more surreal without the context.
