too
short a bus ride to bother putting on my headphones and mp3ing since
i'm way overdo to switch out the songs anyway (yay 512MB limit!) so i
was stuck with the music of my fellow bus travelers, all of whom were
objectively awful human beings. behind me was an exuberant cellphoner
who automatically got bonus points for not gushing "i'm on the bus
right now!" what he in fact said was "i've got a calve's liver and i'm
going to go home and cook it up and [insert his attemptedly funny
pretend french chef banter which made me think how i will always miss
julia childs because she cooked french but didn't try to talk in some
frenchie-poo voice]."
then he has to overenunciate "calve's" 40
times because i think the plural possessive confused whoever was on the
other end of the line because it was the wrong usage unless he'd bought
more than one to eat in a sitting which is extreme. he likely should
have said "calf's" or simply "calf" liver.
satisfied he'd been
understood, he moved on to the joke he'd spent hours coming up with: "i
was going to buy a lamb's heart too but i don't think i can eat that
much cute." after which he was at his stop and walked past my seat
enabling me to see that, lo and behold, he was wearing a beret. now
that's commitment to a bit. still i'm 90% sure there was nobody on the
other end of his cell.
p.s. i can eat that much cute and i don't mean lamb's heart. i do mean cupid ass.
