I hate being disturbed while eating, esp. when I am eating a sandwich, which task demands the utmost concentration and precise planning of every move.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-36773883004150097662015-04-27T22:46:20.762+03:002015-04-27T22:46:20.762+03:00Yesterday I had a great experience: a youngster ap...Yesterday I had a great experience: a youngster approached<br />me, while I was eating. I was eating a roast beef on a hard roll, with salt and<br />pepper and some mayonnaise. Actually, there was too much mayonnaise, now that I<br />think of it. They always do this at the deli; they slather the mayo on like Van<br />Gogh slathering paint on a canvas, and it always causes a problem because the<br />mayo winds up in my mustache and I have to spend the rest of the day cleaning<br />all that gook out of it. I don’t think<br />Van Gogh ever had to clean the paint out of his mustache. There may have been<br />some on the ear he cut off, but I wouldn’t want to speculate on this without<br />investigating the matter further. However, this may be why there are no<br />delicatessens in Van Gogh’s work. Lots of bars and brothels, of course, unless I’m<br />confusing Van Gogh’s work with Toulouse-Lautrec’s; I know there are lots of<br />brothels in Toulouse-Lautrec, but again, as with Van Gogh and Mozart, there are<br />no delicatessens where you can buy a roast beef sandwich that won’t spew<br />mayonnaise all over your face like a culinary Vesuvius. As for the youngster<br />who approached me, a school bus hit him as he crossed the street, killing him<br />instantly. After the students got off the bus and stripped him of his clothing<br />and cell phones, he got up and called the police, who came quickly and arrested<br />him for indecent exposure and littering.Akakynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-75987612732133753632015-04-27T10:27:58.188+03:002015-04-27T10:27:58.188+03:00That is, fortunately, true.That is, fortunately, true.SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-3158044012527510432015-04-27T03:26:56.519+03:002015-04-27T03:26:56.519+03:00At least it's not a country where you are requ...At least it's not a country where you are required to listen to Mr. Levy.Dick Stanleynoreply@blogger.com
