Silly
Now is the summer of our discontent….
A construction worker, talking on a payphone (how retro is that?):
“And that’s why this city drives me crazy. Honest to God!”
Two guys on bikes:
Guy One: “That’s the kind of bullshit I’ve had to work with here.”
Guy Two: “it’s all bullshit here.”
Maybe I should move.
I already have two summer-related stupidity injuries (Calamity Suzy did not stay in Florida):
- A scrape on my left elbow. This was due to breezily informing a friend and hammock owner that I knew all about getting into and out of these summery contraptions. I may have gone so far as to boast that I had “skills”. The hammock promptly dumped me on the ground in a graceless heap to prove that I was just as wrong as I could be. That’s the “mock” part of the hammock. Yes, it mocked me for being such a ham.
- A burn on the fingers of my right hand, incurred while attempting remove skewers of shrimp from my barbecue unassisted. I discovered that you really shouldn’t hold onto the barbecue with your bare hands (or fingers). Kids, don’t try this at home.
