I was sitting at the diner counter today waiting for my food to arrive. A man sitting next to me got up to leave and left his newspaper behind. His seat was quickly taken by an older gentleman. He sat down and was trying to get someone to take the newspaper from him. I started to tell him that he could put it in the little cubby-hole under the counter when he successfully pawned it off on a kid sitting on the other side of him.
He finally understood what I was trying to tell him and said,
“I was going to sell it to him. You should keep quiet.”
(In a joking-but-not manner.)
