Overheard in Asheville


White male, about thirty-five, sits at a table in a restaurant, talking to a similarly aged woman. They converse animatedly, and seem to be reminiscing about their "salad days". As the time passes, and their bottle of wine becomes emptier, their conversation drifts back to the present day. Most of what they say is hard to hear, but a quick exchange stands out.

Male: Yeah! Like yesterday: I was sitting in my favorite chair, eating fried chicken, and you know how it is with fried chicken...I ended up with crumbs all over the chair.

Female: You should never eat fried chicken on good furniture! You could ruin the upholstery!
