This lady, who seems to be a regular at the Waffle House in Athens, TN, watched me putting salt on my omelet and hash browns. "That stuff's bad for you," she told me.

Errrr . . . yeah, I know.

"SALT. It's bad for you."

"Just the salt?" I asked. "Not the sausage or hash browns, right?"

"SALT. How old are you?"

"Thirty-six."

"Yep. You're right at that age. Dangerous."

Needless to say, I didn't finish my omelet. Can't a man clog his arteries in peace on a road trip anymore?

I would have punched her in the cunt.

I would have, but her son was there, and I was too tired for two cunt-punchings. :P

Hahaha

I would've started adding salt to her coffee there, but that's just me.

I need someone like you to travel with!

I've had other people say that to me but then they get upset/embarrassed when we are kicked out of places =(

That'd be a pretty cool story, though, to get bounced from a Waffle House for salting a woman's coffee! What if a brawl broke out? We could be all Kid Rock and shit.

Around 1999 or 2000, I was at Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter, quietly eating my dozen on the half shell. A woman who looked very similar to "this lady" bellied up to the bar next to me. I had long hair at the time, and it wasn't tied back.

She turned to me and said, "Don't get any of your hair in my food."

Slightly taken aback, I replied, "Only if you don't get any of yours in mine."

Even the oyster shucker, who overheard the whole exchange, was appalled that the woman would say such a thing.

Hahaha, holy crap! I used to have a lot of hair, too, so I often got similar comments. You wouldn't expect it in the middle of the Quarter, though!

Acme. *sigh* Now I'm missing New Orleans again. =)

Love the Ignatius icon! Now I'm thinking about the ill-fated Crusade for Moorish Dignity.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You should have farted in her general direction, as you were leaving. The only thing that concerns me is she might have hunted you down.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

And you can bet she'd have been armed!

SALT.

"You know annoying strangers with bullshit that's none of your fucking business is bad for you too, right, Maude?"

Then again, I've never been one to abide nosiness.

Man, that's just rude. I think I would've gotten that omelet to go. ;)

SALT, SONNY. SALT!
