-elderly man on a cell phone in a bob evans somewhere in ohio.

this is the same gentleman who started the conversation with, "yes, i've just checked inside my coat, and you're speaking with either 'medium' or 'harris tweed' here" as waves of "oh puh-LESE, you've used the same damn joke for 50 FRIGGIN YEARS" emmanated from his wife. heh.

i don't think they could see me laughing helplessly, no.
