that might be hanging out in my house. I show no mercy.

And in case you’re wondering what I did with him… I flushed him. He sure came to life the minute he hit the water.

Scene: Bathroom stall at Mimi’s Cafe

I’ve just peed and I’m pulling up my jeans when some coins tumble out of my pocket on to the floor, barely rolling into the stall next to me. I button and zip and reach down to grab the coins. While I’m grabbing the coins the hand of the old lady using that stall also starts grabbing at the coins.

Hmmm. That’s odd. I put the quarter in my pocket and I figure maybe she’s trying to be helpful and she will hand me my 26 cents upon leaving her stall.

Except that she didn’t. She kept my coins.

I pick and choose my battles. This wasn’t really one worth fighting an old lady for.

Although should she have found a hair in her soup or something, I would have felt just a little bit of pleasure.
