Comedy comes in twos

We went to the Bread Store for lunch. They have little round metal cafe tables. I filled up a paper cup with Diet Coke and put it on one of the tables. Immediately I kicked one of the legs; the cup fell over and emptied the Coke all over the table, my thighs, and the floor. I got a mess of napkins to soak up the Coke, washed my hands, and then got a new cup. I filled up the new cup, set it on the table where Jennifer was sitting, and then kicked the leg, upending the new cup. This time an employee offered to clean up the mess. Jennifer wanted to leave immediately, but I elected to move to the counter where I couldn't possibly knock anything over.
Jennifer blames the antihistamines I was taking.
