How today went for me (an actual conversation I had with a girl I didn't
know):
[At the coffee-sugaring station]
Me [indicating the
tiny plastic containers of half-and-half]: These things, they're called
"Mini-Moos." Well, not really, there's an apostrophe in there -- they belong
to someone or something named "Mini-Moo."
Her [nervously, looking at her coffee]: Ha-ha.
Me [stirring my coffee]: I shudder to think what a mini-moo is.
Her [turning away]: Ha-ha.
Me [twenty minutes later, under my breath while crossing the street]:
Ha-ha.
