Hello from Warsaw

Just got into Warsaw this evening. Long bus ride from Villenus, Lithuania to get here.

I'm still working on communication skills. I went to buy a kebab from the local vendor (there are turkish restaurants all over Europe):
* I asked the girl in front of me if she normally has the number 1: shishkebab and she assured me that, yes, this is the number 1 shishkebab restaurant in Warsaw

* I ordered the number 2 item: the super shishkebab, but the guy charged me 14 zlots (about 6 dollars) instead of 7 zlots. I figured out why later when I had a shishkebab in each hand trying to eat them double fisted while walking down the main street.

It's a math/language joke. Something went wrong with the following:
1. I ordered the 'number 2 item'
2. A shish kebab costs 7 dollars. He 'overcharged me'
3. I have one in each hand...

No more hints!

Oh Sean, I sadly got your joke, every now and then I still can't get what I want when I order food in Canada. At least you got what you wanted, and more! :)
