aem,

Some people will make a mountain out of a mole hill for no obviously good
reason! Should've tried striking up a conversation about cinema, asking her
which movie she wants to see, then tell her your made-up version of how it
ends. Payback. Saw it on last night's talk show TV. Too funny!

At the checkout, I pick through the paperback novels and read out loud the
last paragraph of all the novels I can while waiting. I apply a little
emotional theatrics. Keeps me occupied. <VBG>.

Always leaves 'em laughing. After all, who's gonna challenge a 6'3" crying
giant???

Best,

Andy
