randy_byersI just stopped by Bulldog News on my morning break. A new woman asked me what I wanted, and I said, "Tall drip and The Seattle Times."
The smart aleck guy who works there said, "Do they go good together?"
"Yeah," I cracked back, "I like to dunk the news."
"Right," he said thoughtfully. "Gets that recycled flavor, not to mention the fiber. And hey, that way you can eat George Bush!"
"Yuck!" I said. "Thanks for that image."
"Sorry," he said.
The new woman said, "But then you could vomit him back up. That'd be kind of cool. And then you could kind of look down on him, and then flush him down the toilet. That could totally be satisfying!"
Stunned by this horrific conversation, I splashed half-and-half into my coffee, folded the newspaper under my arm, and slumped away under a cold grey sky.
