The waitress, [[Ponytail]], tells Beret Guy there is a special on Tuesdays for &quot;endless wings&quot;. In a normal restaurant, &quot;endless wings&quot; would presumably refer to &quot;all-you-can-eat&quot; chicken wings, meaning the customer can pay a flat price and continue ordering additional wings without paying any more money.<br /> <br /> However, in this comic, Beret Guy suggests that he already has &quot;endless wings&quot;, which he means literally (a similar issue of wishes being taken literally is referenced in [[1086: Eyelash Wish Log]]) and Beret Guy begins growing wings which ultimately appear &quot;endless&quot; as they grow to a span of at least the diameter of the earth by the last panel (and presumably continue growing). The other characters scream in horror for obvious reasons.<br /> <br /> The title text plays on another common restaurant offer of &quot;bottomless drinks&quot;, meaning unlimited free refills of drinks. However, taken literally, falling into something bottomless would result in falling forever.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * This is one of the few comics since the ''xkcd'' lettering became inked and standardized as all-caps that lowercase lettering has been used (including the word &quot;i&quot; which would normally be capitalized). In this case, the usage may be to denote a whisper or soft voice.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--Transcript not posted at xkcd.com by press time<br /> ==Transcript==<br /> --&gt;&lt;!-- The transcript can be found in a hidden &lt;div&gt; element on the xkcd comic's html source, with id &quot;transcript&quot;.<br /> -- Tip: Use colons (:) in the beginning of lines to preserve the original line breaks. <br /> -- Any actions or descriptive lines in [[double brackets]] should be reduced to [single brackets] to avoid wikilinking<br /> -- Do not include the title text again here --&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Comic discussion}} <br /> [[category:Comics featuring Beret Guy]]<br /> [[category:Comics featuring Ponytail]]</div>
