Tyrone’s Fruit Salad

Philip Mak

Once upon a time, Tyrone had to prepare for some winter festivities and he wanted to prepare his signature Fruit Salad.

He was so preoccupied in his preparations that he couldn’t leave his house in Lynnwood, and he needed someone to make his

salad, so he called out for a friend out of his window.

Tyrone found a nice fellow and then proceeded to discuss what he needed and what to do with his fruit salad ingredients in a

crude dialect with sporadic hand gestures.

Tyrone’s new friend, Darryl then went off to the market after recording Tyrone’s message.

When he got to the market, Darryl utilized Urban Dictionary and various translation services to decode Tyrone’s directions.

After successfully comprehending Tyrone’s commands, Darryl sped through the local Walmart’s food section for select delectables, and

then to the arts and crafts section to finish the job as asked.

Then in the dirty Walmart bathroom, he finally crafted the fantasized fruit salad with the

instructions from Tyrone.
