I'm the waiter, and I think we can make about 2,000 pieces of chicken today.
I'm the chef, and I'm going to need you guys to shut the fuck up.
And another recreated version. I'm the owner. I think we should easily be able to make 15,000 to 20,000 bottles of bourbon today. This is called viral hacking.
