Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting in a cafe when a waitress approached him: "Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?"
Sartre replied, "Yes, I'd like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream".
Nodding agreement, the waitress walked off to fill the order and Sartre returned to working. A few minutes later, however, the waitress returned and said, "I'm sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream -- how about with no milk?"
"I always had trouble distinguishing between what happened and what merely might have happened, but I remain unconvinced that the distinction, for my purposes, matters." -Joan Didion
I am won over with offers of:
(1) plane tickets, theatre tickets, concert tickets for anything folky;
(2) late start times, obsolete alarm clocks, afternoon brunch;
(3) charming personal anecdotes, a good bullshit story, choosing one’s own adventure;
(4) pickles, multiple forms of the potato, every form of chocolate;
(5) and dogs. All of them.
